Russian poet
Anna Akhmatova's Requiem, an
elegy about suffering of Soviet people under the
Great Purge, composed 1935–61 and first published in the West in 1963, is first openly published complete in book form in the Soviet Union.
In his 'Notes on the
New Formalism',
Dana Gioia writes: "the real issues presented by American poetry in the Eighties will become clearer: the debasement of poetic language; the prolixity of the lyric; the bankruptcy of the confessional mode; the inability to establish a meaningful aesthetic for new poetic narrative and the denial of a musical texture in the contemporary poem. The revival of traditional forms will be seen then as only one response to this troubling situation."[2]
