From one of the Soviet Union's most daring and celebrated voices comes Stolen Apples, a landmark collection of poetry that crackles with defiance, sensuality, and an unquenchable hunger for human truth. Yevgeny Yevtushenko, the poet who once recited verse to crowds of thousands in Moscow's stadiums, presents here a rich tapestry of lyrical works that traverse the landscapes of love, political rebellion, and the aching complexity of the Russian soul — rendered into English by an extraordinary assembly of American literary giants, including James Dickey, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Stanley Kunitz, John Updike, and Richard Wilbur. The result is a rare and electric cross-cultural collaboration, where Yevtushenko's raw, confessional urgency is refracted through the distinct prisms of some of the twentieth century's finest English-language poets. His work — always provocative, always deeply human — argues for the universality of longing and dissent, speaking truths that Soviet censors could not entirely suppress. Stolen Apples stands as both a monument to poetic courage and an irresistible invitation to ask: what other fruits of forbidden thought remain to be tasted?
