From foreword:

"To choose verse for just one book from ten volumes of consistent genius is a torturous task. Looking over my Table of Contents, I grieve for all the beauty I have had to exclude and keenly appreciate any scholarly criticism I may deserve over certain choices that may seem arbitrary. Many facets of Pushkin's protean genius could not be expressed in this book nearly as much as they should have been. More political and philosophical readers will, I hope, forgive my primary focus on the poet's incomparable love lyrics. But it seems to me Pushkin would understand"
