Produktbeschreibung

Winner of the Herder Prize, Nichita Stanescu was one of Romania's most celebrated contemporary poets. This dazzling collection of poems - the most extensive collection of his work to date - reveals a world in which heavenly and mysterious forces converse with the everyday and earthbound, where love and a quest for truth are central, and urgent questions flow. His startling images stretch the boundaries of thought. His poems, at once surreal and corporeal, lead us into new metaphysical and linguistic terrain.
