[Pro Eto – That’s What]

Vladimir Mayakovsky (Russia)

Pro Eto – That’s What

Aggressive, mocking, tender, full of anguish and anger yet also grimly humorous, 'Pro Eto – That’s What' is part love poem, part political diatribe and the most autobiographical of Mayakovsky's works. This new translation, complete with the extraordinary photomontages that Alexander Rodchenko's created for this work, confirms Mayakovsky, 70 years after his death, as one of the towering figures of Russian literature.

With the publication of his first collection in 1978 when he was only 20, he achieved almost instant recognition as a rebellious, angry poet who identified strongly with the poor and the socially sidelined.
