"At the fateful crossroads of Leningrad/St. Petersburg during the siege, the paths of the poets whose poems and verses are collected in this book converged. Twenty-two names, some well-known and some virtually unknown to modern readers, are featured. Some poets followed the socialist realist canon and hoped for publication. Others wrote without regard for censorship, "for the drawer." But all of them, in the besieged city, wrote in the face of life and death. For the first time, this publication of siege poetry is accompanied by commentary. An extensive essay by writer Natalia Sokolovskaya, "At the Siege Crossroads: Poems and Fates. The Key to Reading," concludes the book. Siege poems are a form of obedience, a form of prayerful service, intended to save future generations "from the impenetrable waves of oblivion."
