“Can Latvian poetry be interesting for Polish readers? Yes, it would work as \u201crecognising the unknown\u201d. General historical themes will be familiar here. The fate common to Central Europe can be found here\u00a0 \u2013 to be born on the ruins of an old empire, to experience 20 years of independence, then to fall again between the cogs of totalitarian power and finally regain sovereignty \u2013 in some, political power (in the countries of the socialist bloc), in others also in the sense of belonging to the Soviet Union.\u201d\u00a0 Mariana Ri\u017eijs (from the Introduction)<\/p>\n

“One gets the impression that Latvian poets of the older generations very cautiously approach poetry, they also use Aesop-like speech and revolve in a circle of doubts that are strongly marked in Eastern European poetry on the whole. Their words have been \u201estained\u201d by relativism or the false language of totalitarianism and their meaning must be verified once again\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>Andrzej Niewiadomski (from the afterword)<\/p>\n<\/div>

The strongest point of the anthology is undoubtedly the combination of the poetry of older generations with more recent works by poets such as K\u0101rlis V\u0113rdi\u0146\u0161 (b. 1979) or Ingm\u0101ra Balode (1981). These are currently the best-known names in the Latvian literary world.<\/em><\/p>\n
