Produktbeschreibung

Ivana Milankov belongs to the first generation of poets from Central and Eastern Europe to be influenced by American anti-establishment poetry, including the Beat poets. Her own work, as a result, captures and rails against Serbia's rich historical and religious history. Hers is also an untiring effort to reach beyond the confines of the world towards mystical revelation, to communicate the incommunicable. Translated by Zorica Petrovic & James Sutherland-Smith. Ivana Milankov once translated the works of Allen Ginsberg on his tour of the former Yugoslavia, and subsequently worked with him in workshops in Colorado. She now works as an English teacher. James Sutherland-Smith was born in Aberdeen, and has lived in Serbia since 2002. His own collections include In the Country of Birds (2003) and Popeye in Belgrade (2008), both published by Carcanet. This title is also available from Amazon as an eBook.

Autorenporträt

Milankova belongs to the first generation of poets from central and eastern Europe who were influenced by anti-establishment poetries - particularly from the USA - such as the Beats and, later on, the New York poets. Milankova acted as a translator for Allen Ginsberg through a tour of the former Yugoslavia and subsequently worked with him during a summer workshop in Colorado. In the mid nineteen-eighties she was very active in alternative theatre and street performances. She now earns a living as teacher of English in a secondary school.
