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.
Milan Jesih was born in Ljubljana in 1950. In addition to his poetry, he has written plays and produced numerous translations into Slovenian from English and Russian. Nada Grošelj has contributed English translations to the bilingual editions of three Slovene poets—France Prešeren and Tone Pavček (with co-translators), and Jože Snoj — and to numerous anthologies. She translates from English, Latin and Swedish into Slovene, and from Slovene into English.
