Synopsis

This first UK publication for Slovakia's leading woman poet concentrates on poetry written in the 1990s-perhaps Haugova's most fruitful period. Feminism and ancient myth contribute to the fabric of her work, as do the Central European traditions of surrealism and hermeticism. Haugova's is a poetry which continually reaches beyond itself, taking us into what might be unseen at the start of a poem but which is palpably evident once the poem has penetrated the pores of our skin.

Media Reviews
In a time when western culture generates most of its symbols through the distortions of television, Mila Haugova retains the remarkable ability to sing of the symbolic heights and depths of experience. Bold, iconic and revelatory, these translations do great services to the poems of a major Central European writer. Andy Brown
