Gennady Aygi (1934-2006) is widely considered to be one of the great avant-garde poets from the former Soviet Union. He wrote and lived during times of extreme terror and suffering for the people of the Soviet Union and because of the repressive censorship, like many writers of his generation Aygi could only publish his work abroad, and even then at great peril to himself and the people who helped him smuggle his work out of the country. Sarah Valentine's first book of translations, Into the Snow: Poems by Gennady Aygi (forthcoming from Wave Books, fall 2011), is a collection of poems translated from the Russian-language poetry of Chuvash poet Gennady Aygi (1934-2006). Individual translations have been featured in the Two Lines anthology Some Kind of Beautiful Signal, as well as in journals such as diode, Circumference, and Redaction: Poetry and Poetics. Sarah has a BA in Russian Studies and Creative Writing from Carnegie Mellon University and a PhD in Russian Literature from Princeton University. She has received a Templeton Foundation grant for her research at Princeton University's Center for the Study of Religion and a prestigious Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Humanities at UCLA. Sarah lives in Los Angeles and is currently a Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of California, Riverside, in the Department of Comparative Literature and Foreign Languages where she teaches Russian literature, comparative literature, film, and critical theory.

Into the Snow will be published to coincide with a festival of translation in Seattle in November that Wave Books is organizing to kick off the release of our new translations. Into the Snow is very teachable, and we plan to promote and encourage course adoption by taking advantage of the excitement building around the many possibilities of teaching translation, as well as the unique space Aygi's poetry occupies as a text that illuminates what is possible in contemporary American poetry. We will work for features and excerpts in such literary journals as languagehat, Jacket, The Drunken Boat, Rain Taxi, BOMBlog, The Believer, and Bookslut, among others. We will promote this title through social media like Facebook & twitter and on the author's and translators' pages on our website.
