Marina Tsvetaeva contributed several poems to the anthology that were not included in her first collection "Vecherniy al'bom" (Moscow, 1910). As a result, two poems were published: "Devotchka-smert" and "Na bul'vare." Later, these poems were included in the section "Detochki" of Tsvetaeva's second collection "Volshebnyy fonar'" (Moscow, 1912). The anthology also includes poems by V. Solovyov, A. Blok, V. Borodaevsky, A. Bely, Yu. Verkhovsky, M. Voloshin, S. Gorodetsky, N. Gumilev, V. Ivanov, and others. In total, the "Antologiya" presents works by thirty poets.
