About the book: 2009 / Among the poets of the “first wave” of emigration - in the galaxy of Bunin, Khodasevich, Georgy Ivanov, Odoevtseva and others - it was easiest “get lost” by those who for some reason returned to the USSR: if the emigrants could not forgive Tsvetaeva for this, then what can we say about poets who are not so famous... Among the “lost” is Maria Lang, née Volyntseva, who took the pseudonym “Maria Vega” ", who published three collections of poems in exile, returned to her homeland at no small cost and lived out her life in the city on the Neva. This collection of poems by Maria Vega is supplemented by her letters to the poet Svetlana Solozhenkina.
