The Selected Poems of Osip Mandelstam (New York Review Books Classics)
Osip Mandelstam
NYRB Classics, 2004
His poems living still
MANDELSTAM

and the flickering madness of a land's best lights lost
All we are and can be
is a poem
that will never come home again.

Maria Tsvetaeva
Penguin Classics, 1994
This sounds like true poetry
