Just when you thought you knew it all! The first truly representative translation into English of a Central European poetic prodigy of the early twentieth century - the Slovenian Rimbaud - who died at the age of twenty-two but whose work bears comparison at once with Rilke, Ungaretti and Apollinaire, yet has its own distinctive and disarming iconoclastic vitality.

Autorenporträt
Sre¿ko Kosovel (1904-1926) was born in Sezana, spent his childhood in the neighbouring village of Tomaj, and was educated in Ljubljana. Often called the Slovenian Rimbaud, he is thought to have written over one thousand poems before his early death, although during his lifetime he published less than forty. Renowned initially for his impressionist lyrics of the Karst region above Trieste, the remarkable modernist component of his work began to be realised only forty years after his death.
