Meer over het boek

The collection showcases thirty poems that intertwine personal experiences with significant historical events, reflecting contemporary issues while connecting to the ethnic heritage of a generation. Diana Senechal's translation captures the original lyricism and intricate stanzaic forms of Venclova's work. An introduction by Joseph Brodsky adds depth, alongside a compelling dialogue between Venclova and Nobel laureate Czeslaw Milosz about their shared youthful environment. This blend of personal and historical perspectives enriches the reading experience.
