I am very pleased to announce that the IBPC judge for October, November, and December 2012, is Polina Barskova. She is called either one of, or the best Russian poet under 40 years of age. In her homeland, she was a child poet prodigy, her works published in journals from age 9, and her first collection released at 15. She was born in Leningrad, now as before St. Petersburg, and lives in Massachusettes, where she is assistant professor of Russian literature at Hampshire College. Two of her poetry collections have been translated into English, The Zoo in Winter, and This Lamentable City. Here they are at Barnes and Noble: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/s/polina-barskova?keyword=polina+barskova&store=allproducts. Let's begin the webography with more biography followed by an interview. The poems are in alphabetical order, beginning with The 51M, which will have you wanting more.
