'Zima Junction' vividly describes his idyllic childhood in Siberia and his impressions of home after a long absence in Moscow. Private moments are captured in 'Waking', on the joys of discovering the unexpected in a lover, and 'Birthday', on a mother's concern for her son, while 'Encounter' depicts an unexpected meeting with Hemingway in Copenhagen. 'The Companion' and 'Party Card' show war from a child's eye, whether playing while oblivious to German bombs falling nearby or discovering a fatally wounded soldier in the forest, while Yevtushenko's famous poem, 'Babiy Yar', is an angry exposé of the Nazi massacre of the Jews of Kiev.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Penguin Classics","offers":[{"title":"Selected Poems | Yevgeny Yevtushenko | Paperback | 9780140424775 | New | Poetry 1544353","offer_id":48163172810904,"sku":"1544353","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61Ww0gubcXL.jpg?v=1771878086","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/selected-poems","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
