Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback Anna Akhmatova (1889-1966) - pseudonym of Anna Andreyevna Gorenko One of the greatest Russian poets of the 20th-century, who became a legend in her own time as a poet and symbol of artistic integrity. Akhmatova's work is characterized by precision, clarity, and economy. She wrote with apparent simplicity and naturalness and her rhyming was classical compared to such radical contemporary writers as Marina Tsvetaeva and Vladimir Mayakovsky. "Our sacred craft has existed For thousands of years... With it, luminous even in darkness is earth. But no poet has ever insisted, Through laughter or tears, That there is no wisdom, no age, no death." Anna Akhmatova was born Anna Gorenko in Bolshoy Fontan, near Odessa, Ukraine, as the daughter of a naval engineer. She began writing poetry at the age of 11, and adopted a pseudonym to allay her father's fears that as a"decadent poetress" she would dishonour the family. The pseudonym was the Tatar name of Akhmatova's great-grandmother. When she was sixteen, her father abandoned his family. Akhmatova attended a girls' gymnasium in Tsarskoe Selo and the famous Smolnyi Institute in St. Petersburg. She continued her studies in Kiev in Fundukleevskaia gymnasium (1906) and in a law school (1907) before moving to St. Petersburg to study literature. Among her teachers were the poet, dramatist and essayist Innokenty Annensky (1856-1909), who influenced her deeply. Between the years 1910 and 1912 she visited Paris, where she met the painter Amedeo Modigliani, and northern Italy. At the age of 21 she became a member of the

27. The Other Side -- A Journey With Lot's Wife By Eve Kavanagh Literary meditation on the flight from Sodom, with poems by anna akhmatova and Roisin Cowman. http://www.theotherside.org/archive/may-jun98/kavanagh.html

The just man followed then his angel guide Where he strode on the black highway, hulking bright; But a wild grief in his wife's bosom cried, Look back, it is not too late for a last sight Of the red towers of your native Sodom, the square Where once you sang, the gardens you shall mourn, And the tall house with empty windows where You loved your husband and your babes were born. She turned, and looking on the bitter view Her eyes were welded shut by mortal pain. Into transparent salt her body grew, And her quick feet were rooted in the plain. Who would waste tears upon her? Is she not The least of our losses, this unhappy wife? Yet in my heart she shall not be forgot Who, for a single glance, gave up her life. Anna Akhmatova ntil a few years ago, I rarely gave Lot's wife a passing thought. If anyone had asked me what her story meant to me, my answer would have been "nothing." Two poems, both entitled "Lot's Wife," sparked new reflection on who this woman wasand changed the way I saw the world. The first, a translation of the Russian poem by Anna Akhmatova moved me to see the woman known only as Lot's wife as a real, flesh-and-blood person. Lot's wife reminded me of the countless other women in history whose lives and sufferings have been cast aside and trivialized in the name of really "important" thingslike men's wars and causes in the endless struggle between shifting groups to achieve power and possessions by domination. I thought of the many women who have been forced to march away from houses "with empty windows" where they also loved their husbands and gave birth to their babies. How many grief-stricken women have looked back for a last glimpse of home before moving into an unknown and uncertain future? Or no future at all?

Akhmatova: Biographical/Historical Overview by Jill T. Dybka A Life Amid Change Akhmatova was born Anna Andreevna Gorenko. She was raised in an upper class family in the town of Tsarskoye Selo, near St. Petersburg. At an early age, she became interested in poetry, though it was not fashionable at the time. When her father found out about her aspirations, he told her not to shame the family name by becoming a "decadent poetess" (Kenyon 2). He forced her to take a pen-name, and she chose the last name of her maternal Great-Grandmother, a Tartar, from whom she inherited high cheekbones and striking features. She started signing her name "Anna Andreevna Akhmatova." That same year, the Revolution of 1905 took place. Thousands marched to the Tsar's palace, and many were shot by palace guards on "Bloody Sunday." From then on, the downfall of the Autocracy was near. Nicholas II implemented reforms to try to stop the strikes and unrest, but his government was weakening. In 1910, Akhmatova married Nikolai Gumilev. He was a romantic figure, a poet and adventurer enamored with North Africa. Gumilev founded a literary movement in Russia called "Acmeism," which was a reaction to the current Symbolism. The Acmeists emphasized clarity and directness, in contrast to the Symbolists, who the Acmeists believed clouded their poetry with ideologies and intangibilities like mysticism and symbols (Gibian 1). Shortly after Gumilev and Akhmatova were married, he left on a journey to Abyssinia, leaving her behind. While Gumilev was away, Akhmatova wrote many of the poems that would be published in 1912 in her first book

Nadezhda Petrovna, the lady of the house in which this story took place, stood up from the couch and hurried to the door. "It must be my husband," she thought. But upon opening the door, it was not her husband that she saw. Before her stood a tall, handsome man in an expensive bear fur coat and gold eye glasses. His forehead was knitted and sleepy eyes looked out at the world indifferently. "What do you want?" asked Nadezhda Petrovna. "I am a doctor, madam. Someone sent for me. Uhh ... the Chelobitevs ... are you the Chelobitevs?" "We are the Chelobitevs, but ... for God's sake, excuse us, doctor. My husband had an abscess and a fever. He sent you a letter, but you took so long to come that he lost all patience and went to the dentist." "Huh. He could have gone to the dentist without bothering me." The doctor frowned. A minute passed in silence. "I am sorry, doctor, that we troubled you and made you come for nothing. Excuse us."

Her son Lev was also born in 1912. He was raised by his paternal grandmother, who disliked Akhmatova. Akhmatova protested this situation, but her husband supported his family. She would visit with her son during holidays and summer. Later, Akhmatova would write that "motherhood is a bright torture. I was not worthy of it." Upon Evening 's publication in 1912, Akhmatova became a cult figure among the intelligentsia and part of the literary scene in St. Petersburg. Her second book
