This edition reproduces the final collection of Russian poems by Vladimir Nabokov (1899-1977), written between 1917 and 1974. The preliminary selection of works was made by the writer himself in the last years of his life. After his death, work on the collection was continued by his wife Vera, who wrote a preface to it, in which she pointed out "Nabokov's main theme." "Poems" introduces the reader to the most controversial and dramatic section of Nabokov's multifaceted art and includes a number of pieces published for the first time in it, as well as Nabokov's late notes. "It is not methods or schools that animate poetry," remarked the leading émigré critic G. Adamovich, who called Nabokov "a born poet," "but an inner energy seeking an outlet: only the deaf will not hear it in Nabokov.
The edition is equipped with the editor's comments and an appendix in which Nabokov's preface to his last lifetime poetry collection "Poems and Tasks" (1970) is published for the first time in Russian translation.
