And la Tsvetaeva is also on my horizon for 2015...
She is incredible. I have read most of her work which is in english translation - prose, poetry and letters. For those looking for pointers I would recommend Bride of Ice New Selected Poems
Earthly Signs Moscow Diaries 1917 1922
The Pasternak/Rilke/Tsvet letters are great too.
Elaine Feinstein is, I think, the best of the translators of her work and there are some terrible (and some just mediocre) versions out there by other translators so I would certainly suggest caution.
She's on my list this year as well. Thanks for the translation and volume recommendations, Jonathan! I have Bride of Ice and the P/R/T letters from NYRB. Adding the Moscow Diaries to my list of books to acquire.
She's on my list, but I'm up for anything she's written.
Just on the off chance that someone might be interested, I've posted a review of Bride of Ice: New Selected Poems.
