Poetry of Ivan Zhdanov

[Michael M Brewer]

Seelangers,

I am looking for the original of a poem by Ivan Zhdanov that I read in
"Third Wave."  It's title is "Table" in the English translation by John
High.  It is not in Zhdanov's books "Mesto zemli" or "nerazmennoe nebo"
which leads me to believe that it might be in "portret" (1982).  This
book, however, is not available through Interlibrary loan.  Does anyone
have a copy of this book, or know where else this poem may have been
published (a journal, etc.)?  Does anyone have John High's e-mail address?
(He is currently teaching in the Bay Area).

The poem is a short one.  If anyone out there has the original, I would be
very grateful if they would send my the transliterated russian over e-mail
(it is only about two or three stanzas).  My address is mmbst35+ at pitt.edu

Thanks,

Michael Brewer
