Born in Moscow in 1949, Olga Sedakova emerged as a leading writer of the late Soviet period. Since 2014, she has been an outspoken critic of Russia's war on Ukraine. Her writing bears witness to the values of generosity, attention, and non-violence. The poems in Old Songs construct a world shaped by these values, forming a lyric sequence infused with folk wisdom and anchored in moral courage. It is a world brought into being by song, the kind passed down over cradles and on walks through the garden. These poems find their way into your memory and accompany you on your way.
Sedakova is not only one of Russia's most revered contemporary poets but also a scholar and essayist. Often compared to figures such as Czeslaw Milosz, she has, with this volume (according to Rowan Williams), succeeded in conveying the sense of a forgotten directness of perception and relationnot a lost simplicity, exactly, but a larger and more human world. . . .
thinker. Emerging out of the late Soviet Underground, she has gone on to become
a voice of conscience in the post-Soviet era. Sedakova is the recipient of many
awards, including Russia's Andrei Bely Prize. Her poems engage diverse modes,
from the folkloric to the metaphysical, and reflect an ethic and aesthetic
grounded in Russian cultural tradition and informed by a longing for world
culture (Osip Mandelstam).
