Якорь: антология зарубежной поэзии [Iakorʹ: antologiia zarubezhnoi poezii; Anchor: Anthology of Poetry Written Abroad]
Scarce Berlin-printed anthology of Russian émigré poetry with Paris distribution
Russian Émigré Poetry Anthology Printed in Berlin by Petropolis, 1936
First edition of the earliest anthology devoted to Russian émigré poetry, published by Petropolis-Verlag in Berlin with distribution in France and Belgium through Maison du Livre Étranger in Paris. Petropolis, established by émigré intellectuals, served as a central publishing house for exiled writers and texts excluded from Soviet circulation.
The volume presents more than seventy-five poets, including Nina Berberova, Boris Bozhnev, Ivan Bunin, Marina Tsvetaeva, and Georgii Adamovich. A detailed index notes sources in journals and collections, while the text is printed in pre-revolutionary orthography, reflecting the émigré effort to maintain cultural continuity while dispersed across Europe.
