Query: Anna Ahkmatova - As Soulful as Always

While reading Harrison Salisbury's :Nine Hundred Days" about the seige of Leningrad, I found myself longing to re-read some Russian lit after 35 years. Ahkmatova is as profound and powerful as ever, though still mournful and sad, trying to make sense of a world gone mad with killinmg, jailing and hatred. I read her in college with the hope the world would change, but alas, it has not and the siren song she sang in the 1800's holds the same grip in 2009.She reminds you of the fear and desolation lost love brings while at the same timem finds a glimmer of hope to destroy the hatred that has cost so many, many lives. Beautiful and powerful. Michelle Czerner, 2/2009
