The Scale By Which You Measure Me

The collection showcases Marina Tsvetaeva's previously unpublished poems from 1912 to 1920, capturing her personal and artistic struggles during a tumultuous period in Russia. The verses reflect her relationships, particularly with poet Sonya Parnók and economist Nikodim Plutser-Sarnya, while also exploring themes of identity, loss, and cultural heritage through tributes and evocative imagery. Notably, it includes a unique cycle featuring Don Juan and Carmen, presenting some of Tsvetaeva's most significant and poignant works, now available in English for the first time.
