Teaching modern Russian poetry

[Leslie O'Bell]

This fall I expect to teach a course for graduate students in the general area 
of Russian poetry from 1950 to the present including the bard poets as well as 
ordinary verse.  I have done some preliminary research, but I would appreciate 
suggestions about anthologies, collections and critial studies that you have 
found useful, and particularly your own selection of poets and/or individual 
works which you consider essential to a balanced picture of this area or which 
are simply "the best." I plan to organize the course as a workshop around 
student areas of interest, but a general orientation is also needed. The 
students are expected to read Russian, but available English translations are a 
plus. Please reply off-line to me at lobell at mail.utexas.edu and I will make a 
selected list of references available to the list.
