Books by Boris Poplavsky

Homeward from Heaven is Boris Poplavsky's masterpiece, written just before his life was cut short by a drug overdose at the age of thirty-two. Set in Paris and on the French Riviera, it recounts the escapades, malaise, and love affairs of a bohemian group of Russian expatriates.

"Flags" was the only volume of poetry published by the Russian emigre poet Boris Poplavsky (1903-1935) during his own lifetime. A significant Surrealist volume, it is one of the 'lost' creations of a man who has been called the greatest of the Russian emigre poets. This book opens a window onto a fascinating and unfairly neglected figure.
