|  | I am to be read not from left to right, but in Jewish: from right to left: The Poetics of Boris Slutsky (Borderlines: Russian and East European Jewish Studies)
Publication Date: January 2, 2011| ISBN-10: 1934843733 | ISBN-13: 978-1934843734Boris Slutsky (1919-1986) is a major original figure of Russian poetry of the second half of the twentieth century, whose oeuvre has remained unexplored and unstudied.
