I was going to write whole eulogies to Mayakovsky’s voice, but there’s nothing I can say that will adequately describe it. Here it is, thanks to the nice people at From the Ends to the Beginning (who also provide a very nice translation):
Tuesday’s piece for Vulpes is going to be on Mayakovsky; you may have guessed. The plan is either to pick out one good substantial poem (and provide a literal translation, perhaps even hosting a rhyming one here if my skillz are up to it) or look at his verse for children. Notes and ramblings here, shortly.
