This collection contains 56 poems of the great Russian poet Sergei Yesenin translated into English. It includes an overview of the poet's art, from the earliest to some of his very last poems. "Farewell my friend, farewell; My dearest one, you're in my heart. The predetermined parting from above, Will reunite us later and we'll never part. Farewell, my friend, don't speak, don't shake my hand; Please don't despair and don't frown your brow. To perish in this life is nothing novel, Although to live, of course, is also nothing new."

Sergei Aleksandrovich Esenin
Sergey Aleksandrovich Yesenin was the self-styled last poet of wooden Russia, whose dual image that of a devout and simple peasant singer and that of a rowdy and blasphemous exhibitionist, reflects his tragic maladjustment to the changing world of the revolutionary era.
Education
After graduating from the local provincial school in 1909, Esenin studied for 3 years in a Russian Orthodox church school, the Russian Orthodox religion had a strong effect on his political views and on the thematics of his poetry.
In 1912 Esenin went to Moscow, where he studied at the Shanyavsky People's University.
Career
Esenin began to write verse at the age of nine. In 1912, Esenin arrived in Moscow, and soon came into contact with the underground Bolshevik organization.
In 1914, he moved to St. Petersburg, where he became acquainted with some of the Russian symbolist poets, among them Alexander Blok.
Esenin's poetry is distinguished by deep sincerity as well as by a high degree of emotionalism.
He was essentially a peasant poet, and his personal tragedy, in large part, was the tragedy of a misfit.
He enthusiastically welcomed the Revolution of 1917, and his ideological disagreement with it became evident only later.
Hounded by critics and pressed by hostile reality, he attempted to write poems glorifying "the steel horse" (the locomotive), a symbol of mechanical progress of the city, and poems glorifying technology in general, but these attempts remained sterile. His most important works are Marfa, the Mayor's Wife and Mustache (1914); Comrade and The Singing Call (1917 - 1918); Confessions of a Hooligan (1922); and Pugachov (1923).
Achievements
-
Esenin is one of the most popular and well-known Russian poets of the 20th century.
Bernd Alois Zimmermann included his poetry in his Requiem für einen jungen Dichter (Requiem for a Young Poet), completed in 1969.
Yesenin appears as a character in the 1981 ballet Isadora, by Kenneth Macmillan.
A monument to Yesenin opened in St. Petersburg in 1995.
In 2005 Russian studio Pro-Cinema Production produced a TV mini-series Yesenin. The movie described the version of his death according to which he was murdered by NKVD agents who staged his suicide. In the mini-series Yesenin was portrayed by Sergey Bezrukov.
Sergei Yesenin's final poem was a major inspiration for the Bring Me the Horizon song "It Was Written In Blood" on their album Suicide Season.
Yesenin is used a pseudonym for a fictional poet in The Book of Laughter and Forgetting by Milan Kundera
