Produktbeschreibung
A collection of poems that blend raw, visceral imagery with experimental forms, offering a vivid exploration of the body, language, and fluid identities. Nóra Ruzicková's poetry merges sensory experience with linguistic innovation, evolving from self-reflection to an exploration of gender and Central European identity. Her work deftly weaves personal narratives with political and social commentary, forging poems that are both intellectually provocative and deeply embodied. In this most socially engaged collection, Ruzicková reflects on the concept of novelty in Slovak culture, framed by the grand narratives of modern history. Through her poems, she challenges the boundaries of language, blending physicality with abstraction through a combination of potent imagery and philosophical reflection. Her poetry treats the body as a space where meaning is simultaneously created and dismantled, probing themes of identity, existence, and the instability of interpretation. By experimenting with materiality, bodily experience, and the ever-changing mediascape, Ruzicková captures the complexities of contemporary human life and dissolves the divide between language and physical reality. What Is Now Is Now Is Now confronts pivotal historical moments and humanity's relentless pursuit of progress, making for a powerful, thought-provoking engagement with the present.
