Published in 1917, "White Flock" is a collection of poems by Anna Akhmatova, one of the most significant poets of the 20th century. The collection is divided into three parts, each with its own distinct themes and moods. The first part, "White Flock," explores themes of love, loss, and longing. The second part, "Wild Rose," is more introspective, focusing on Akhmatova's own experiences and emotions. The third part, "Plantain," reflects on the tumultuous events of the Russian Revolution and its impact on the country and its people.
