Summary

Primer for Non-Native Speakers is a collection of poems that explores the dizzying interplay of language and landscape in one poet's life in Russia during the chaotic years after the fall of the Soviet Union. From layered narratives to short lyrics, from persona poems to imitations of conversation primers, from sonnet sequences to experimental fragments, Primer for Non-Native Speakers is itself a kind of primer of poetry, demonstrating how fundamentally lyric poetry might also illuminate a particular historical moment and culture.
