In Gagarin Returns!, poet Steve Cranfield crafts a vivid mosaic of Soviet life, where the ideals of progress and revolution collide with the weight of human complexity. Central figures like Yuri Gagarin, Dmitri Shostakovich, and Ekaterina Furtseva anchor a journey that spans the cosmic ambitions of the Space Race and the quiet resilience of individuals navigating an era of relentless transformation.With a blend of irony, defiance, and dark humour, Cranfield sheds light on the resilience and contradictions of ordinary and extraordinary lives against a backdrop of political theatre and social change. For readers captivated by the untold stories behind history’s grand narratives, Gagarin Returns! offers a poignant exploration of ambition, identity, and the enduring paradoxes of progress.With artwork by acclaimed multimedia artist Andrea Aste.
