In You Play the Girl, Chocano blends formative personal stories with insightful and emotionally powerful...

These masterly poems span the whole of Nabokov's career from "Music," written in 1914, to the short, playful "To Vera," composed in 1974. The works are newly translated by Dmitiri Nabokov, and include "The University Poem," an extraordinary autobiographical poem in which Nabokov recalls his life in Cambridge, with its crooked alleys and age-old gates, teas at the vicar's and British girls.
