	Anna Akhmatova
		Akhmatova began writing verse at the age of 11 and at 21 became a member of the Acmeist group of poets, whose leader, Nikolay Gumilyov, she married in 1910 but divorced in 1918.
		The Acmeists, through their periodical Apollon ("Apollo"; 1909-17), rejected the esoteric vagueness and affectations of Symbolism and sought to replace them with "beautiful clarity," compactness, simplicity, and perfection of form--all qualities in which Akhmatova excelled from the outset.
		In 1964 she was awarded the Etna-Taormina prize, an international poetry prize awarded in Italy, and in 1965 she received an honorary doctoral degree from Oxford University.

		I believe this was what Osip Mandelstam was getting at with his (Acmeist) concept of "domestic hellenism" - quoting very roughly from memory : "hellenism is the surrounding of the body and earthly life with the teleological warmth of beloved domestic objects" - the civilizing labor itself.
		Poetry, too, is situated within that magic (playground) circle.
		This primal imaginative-intellective labor is what accounts for poetry's famous vividness; what Mallarme (and Eliot) meant when they spoke of their vocation as Donner un sens plus pur aux mots de la tribu (to render a purer sense to the words of the tribe).

	Acmeism The Reality of Poetry, Philosophy, College Term Papers.com
		Akhmatov was an acmeist from beginning to end, in the sense that she never abandoned the firm ground of a palpable reality, showed a lifelong concern for the word, and at all times maintained a connection with the values and myths of Western civilization.
		The poetry of the years 1926 to 1964 came out after her death which was in 1966.
		These three legendary acmeist poets had much in common with each other: They all took as the cornerstone of their poetry the simple depiction of reality, without any other worldly symbolism; they were all twentieth-century humanists; they praised virtues such as bravery, honor, and honesty.

		She was one of the most original of the Russian 20th-century poets, and at the forefront of both the Acmeist and Symbolist movements in Russia.
		It was not the theory which was to attract her but the poetry and the immense gravity which writers such as Andrey Bely and Aleksandr Blok were capable of generating.
		Conversely, her poetry was much admired by poets such as Valery Bryusov, Maximilian Voloshin, Osip Mandelstam, Boris Pasternak, Rainer Maria Rilke, and Anna Akhmatova.

		Poetry is an art, and throughout the world, from the beginning of civilization to the present, men have made art for many social and religious purposes, but it has always satisfied some need and desire for beauty as well.
		Poetry which rhymes the everyday commonly spoken words in its own defines order, patterns, and styles which in turn constitute beauty.
		Akhmatova's poetry, much of which expressed the various moods of love, reflecting her complicated and unsatisfactory relationships with number of men, including a second marriage is essentially lyrical and personal, combining classical tact with intense feeling.

	Osip Mandelshtam's Biography
		Mandelshtam's poetry divides easily into two major periods, the published collections (poems of 1908-25) and the unpublished notebooks (poems of 1930-37), preserved by his wife, Nadezhda Mandelshtam, until they could be printed abroad.
		As the early poetry is illuminated by the manifestoes and prose essays of the 1910s and early 1920s, so the later poetry reflects the prose of the later 1920s and 1930s.
		The poetry of the Notebooks is defined by a verbal texture richer and denser than the poetry of any previous Russian poet.

	Anna Akhmatova Biography
		The personal and religious elements of her poetry aroused criticism by the Soviet hierarchy which forced her into long periods of silence and meant that the masterpieces of her later years (A Poem without a Hero and Requiem) were first published abroad.
		The encounter with his poetry was decisive for her, and he was the only modern poet she acknowledged as an influence on her work.
		She later denied that she wrote no poetry during the period when her work was officially banned, but Hayward describes the ten years that followed as a period of near silence as far as original poetry is concerned.

	The St Petersburg Legacy: A portrait of a city through its poetry and music
		Akhmatova's early poetry was dedicated to the often-uncompromising expression of a woman's passion in her search for love, something which would remain unfulfilled in her case.
		Akhmatova almost ceased writing poetry after a semi-official ban on her works, Mayakovsky and the comic film actor Vladimir Fogel committed suicide, Meyerhold vanished without trace - presumably into one of Stalin's work camps - and his wife was murdered by the State.
		As well as Lourie and Mandelstam, the other main person to fill Akhmatova's poetry was her protege Josef Brodsky, who came to public attention with his trial in 1964, which marked the end of the thaw period that followed the de-Stalinisation of Russia.

		This position is grounded in an extensive analysis of Acmeist theoretical works and critical practice, which is seen to be the foundation to the Acmeist approach to poetry.
		Next the relationship between Acmeist poetry and theory is addressed, in an examination of the Acmeist uses of the lyric persona, a problem particularly important in Akhmatova.

		The poetry of Akhmatova fulfills the Acmeist ideal of "beautiful clarity." In her poems she uses everyday speech and simple language, and her poetry appealed to all segments of Russian society.

	Meter Man - It’s the message, not the medium - in the arts... - The Barnstable Patriot - Cape Cod & Islands
		The Acmeist movement in Russian poetry began circa 1912, during the Silver Age of Russian Arts, a time when Russian Symbolist poetry was at the cultural forefront.
		The Acmeists were rejecting the mystical language of the Symbolists, and poet Anna Akhmatova was a central figure.
		Leon Damas was one of three founding members of the Negritude movement and the first to publish a book of poetry, Pigments, in 1937, which became known as “the manifesto of the movement.” Refusing to remotely resemble anything white-French, Damas’s writing was not only stylistically different, but his voice also took on a straightforward tone.

		Through their portrayals of visual arts, the Acmeists presented their views on issues such as national identity, Russia's relationship with the West, gender, modernity and mass culture.

		In defiance of the older poets whose innovations had changed poetry in Russia, Nikolai Gumilev, Anna Akhmatova, and Osip Mandel'shtam began to apply their own ideas to the art of building poetry.
		They did not believe poetry was tied to mysticism and thought that poets (who were talented human beings rather than the prophets of symbolism) should express ideas about culture, the word, and human existence.
		The Hellenistic age encroached on twentieth century Russia, and the acmeists continued the symbolist tradition of incorporating mythical and biblical figures into their verses.
