What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Accursed Poets: Dissident Poetry from Soviet Russia 1960-80 is an anthology of dissident and samizdat poetry in Russian and English translation, featuring work by Gennady Aigi, Yuri Aikhenvald, Yuli Daniel, Vladimir Earle, Yuri Galanskov, Natalia Gorbanevskaya, Igor Kholin, Victor Krivulin, Evgeny Kropivnitsky, Vsevolod Nekrasov, Rea Nikonova, Victor Nekipelov, Grigory Podyapolsky, Genrikh Sapgir, Ian Satunovsky, Mikhail Sokovnin and Kari Unksova.
Accursed Poets captures the frustration, suppressed ambitions and hidden energy of the 'accursed' generation of poets living a life outside or against society. Because so many of these authors not allowed to publish their work openly, they had to write 'into the table.' The work collected here documents Russian poetry in the 1970s and 1980s responding to the challenges of the time by forging a radical new poetic, reconsidering writing techniques and the purpose of language itself.
