Agitator, loudmouth, ringleader? Who was Vladimir Mayakovsky: the first poet of the Soviet Union, a hooligan, a futurist instigator, or a passionate lover? He wanted 'to speak of the times and of himself'—and so, like no one else, he was able to express the spirit of the era and pour his whole passionate soul into verse. 'He drove his lines at a furious pace, he incinerated the well-being of the bourgeoisie, he infected people with a trust in the power of great ideas,' recalled Olga Forsh. For over a hundred years, readers have been captivated and drawn by the gift of this great poet, revealing a new side each time. The book 'At the Top of My Voice' includes selected poems by Vladimir Mayakovsky, verse poems, the article 'How to Write Poetry?', as well as memoirs about Mayakovsky and his letters to Lilya Brik.
