contemporary Russian poetry

[Margo Rosen]

Esteemed colleagues,

A non-Russian speaking colleague of mine is teaching contemporary  
Russian poetry in translation as part of a world poetry overview.  She  
had two questions for which I could supply only very provisional  
answers.  To wit:
What would you say might be a reason why titles to individual poems aren't
so popular for Russian poets?
  And--Do you think the Petersburg or the Moscow tradition is most
  dominant today?

Please respond offlist to  	angela.ball at comcast.net     with any  
insights you care to share.

Best,
Margo Rosen
