| | Night Wraps the Sky: Writings by and about Mayakovsky Release Date: April 1, 2008From the time his first, futurist poems were published in 1912 until his suicide at the age of thirty-six, Vladimir Mayakovsky made theatrical appearances in his written work and perfected an iconoclastic voice James Schuyler called "the intimate yell."
