New Book by Professor Stephanie Sandler: The Freest Speech in Russia: Poetry Unbound, 1989–2022

We are delighted to announce Professor Stephanie Sandler's newest book, The Freest Speech in Russia: Poetry Unbound, 1989–2022 (Princeton University Press, 2024), the first English-language study of contemporary Russian poetry and its embrace of freedom. Since 1989 and the fall of the Berlin Wall, Russian poetry has exuded a powerful awareness of freedom, both aesthetic and political. No longer confined to the cultural underground, poets reacted with immediacy to events in the world. In The Freest Speech in Russia, Professor Sandler shows how these poems both express and exemplify freedom.
