Description
A postmodern poet who successfully employed classic structures to exploit the range of possibilities inherent in the Slovenian language, this selection from the life's work of Milan Jesih highlights his revolutionary approach to verse. Beginning with humor and autobiography and gradually withdrawing into a universe of of fragments, quotations, dreams, and doubt, this collection offers English readers a first glimpse into the work of one of Slovenia's literary treasures.

"There's no harm in that, if they want me to be a postmodernist I'll settle for it, what the hell, the poem won't be any better or worse for it." --Milan Jesih
