Everything Is Plundered

Anna Akhmatova

1922

Introduction

Everything Is Plundered, published in the collection Anno Domini MCMXXI (1922), is one of Russian poet Anna Akhmatova's most studied works. Akhmatova wrote the poem in 1921, during a time of tremendous social upheaval caused by the Russian Revolution of 1917 and the slightly later Russian Civil War.

The poem is short, only three stanzas long, but it is a powerful statement of hope in a time of great destruction and death. Akhmatova juxtaposes bleak images of despair with beautiful images of the natural world, suggesting that a mysterious something is about to happen, something that all people have wanted for many years. The poem achieves additional poignancy when the reader discovers that it was written just two months before Akhmatova's first husband was arrested and then shot as a counterrevolutionary. This event deeply marked Akhmatova's work and life.

Since Akhmatova's death in 1966, her stature as a poet has grown significantly. Poets such as Stanley Kunitz, Jane Kenyon, and Marilyn Hacker have translated her work and written tributes to Akhmatova. Everything Is Plundered appears as Everything Has Been Plundered in The Complete Poems of Anna Akhmatova (1997), translated by Judith Hemschemeyer and edited with an introduction by Roberta Reeder.

Author Biography

Before Akhmatova reached her first birthday, the family moved to Tsarskoe Selo, a wealthy suburb of St. Petersburg, Russia. Amanda Haight reports in her book Anna Akhmatova: A Poetic Pilgrimage that Akhmatova attended school in Tsarskoe Selo briefly but became very ill when she was around ten years old and was not expected to live. After she recovered from her illness, she began to write poetry.

In 1905, several events had serious implications for young Akhmatova and her family. First, the Russian naval fleet was entirely destroyed by the Japanese. Second, according to Elaine Feinstein in Anna of All the Russias, workers across the country began uprisings and
