Anna Akhmatova and Her Times


As we study the poetry of Russian poet Anna Akhmatova, you may want to get to know the woman behind the poetry. Her verses reflect a quiet kind of strength that was able to survive the turbulent times she lived in. To study her poetry is to get a glimpse back in time to a gifted writer reacting from the heart to the atrocities around her.
