Yelizaveta Mnatsakanova (1922- )

Yesterday we had a pleasant surprise: two books through the post from the Russian poet, and true inheritor of the zaum tradition, Yelizaveta Mnatsakanova. The rewards of writing positive reviews in newspapers...

Here is an extract from Das Buch Sabeth (1988) which gives a clearish idea of her type of writing.

There's an interesting article about her here, which says coherent things slightly more coherently that I might be able to. Happy World Poetry Day!
