# New Book by Professor Stephanie Sandler: The Freest Speech in Russia: Poetry Unbound, 1989–2022 November 14, 2024 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. For more information and to order from Princeton University Press: .
