About Aufgabe No. 8
[I]n imagining this Russian portfolio for Aufgabe #8, I wondered if a smaller selection of poems and essays by a modest number of presently active poets could produce the sensation of knowing, or at least glimpsing, what’s
going on — a sensation so often lacking in anthologies?
— Matvei Yankelevich, “What’s Going On in Russian Poetry?”
It’s a good thing Aufgabe only comes out once a year because it takes nearly that long to read the whole issue — and the whole issue is worth reading.
— Sima Rabinowitz, New Pages
