Season Five begins with a wonderful being I met in Mysore practice; Jenny Wade. She is publishing a book:

Mayakovsky

Maximum Access

selected poems by Vladimir Mayakovsky

translated by Jenny Wade

She enlightens me with the depth and breath of Russian poetry; especially of Vladimir Mayakovsky… a Russian Soviet poet, playwright, artist, and actor.

Her dedication in her book states, "To all the fools who abandoned “shameful good sense” and fell in love with Russian poetry."

And her Author's Biography:

Jenny Wade is a musician and computer programmer who suffers from an obsession with 20th century Russian poetry. She has an MA in Russian Literature from UVA.
