RED CATS: POCKET POET SERIES NUMBER SIXTEEN

I found this slim book while cleaning out our stepmother's apartment.
It is a collection of poems from three Russian poets; Yevgeni Yevttushenko, Semyon Kirsanov and Andrei Voznesky. This book became my introduction to the Pocket Poet Series published by Lawrence Felinghetti.


Paperback 64 pages
Published by City Lights Books 1962
Translation by Anselm Hollo
Originally published in Russian in a number of publications
including Literaturnaya Gazeta and Oktyabr
