Description: "Disturbing, incantory and powerful work by this great Slovenian poet. Zajc, born in 1929, is one of Central Europe's most important poets and a founding father of post-World War II modernism. This is the first comprehensive volume of his work to appear in English and presents the entire creative arch of Zajc's vision from early poems to his mature work. Having been incarcerated in communist jails, Zajc's political resistance to the dictatorial regime gives his work an urgency that propels the reader into a vertigo of sinister and evil."--BOOK JACKET.
