Vera Pavlova was born in Moscow. She graduated from the Gnessin Academy, specializing in the history of music, and is the author of fourteen collections of poetry, four opera librettos, and lyrics to two cantatas. Her works have been translated into eighteen languages. The poems in this issue are from her first collection in English, If There Is Something to Desire, published this month by Alfred A. Knopf.

[Run away with you? Gladly!]

* Run away with you? Gladly! Share your shelter and journey? Simpler to straighten a rainbow,

* One shouldn't look, but I do at the beggar rummaging in the dump, at the gays kissing on a bench,

[O the childish fear of loss]

* O the childish fear of loss with which the first-form girl gropes inside her dress, her chemise for the key on a ribbon
