Это первый опубликованный сборник Ахматовой. И хотя видно, почему его тогда сочли многообещающим, проверку временем выдерживают лишь несколько стихотворений, а сравнения с её же более поздними работами не выдержит ни одно.
I was warned that Akmatova's poetry was quite an experience. I have relatives who strongly dislike her for the more contemporary way in which she wrote, while a professor of mine praised her highly.
