Items related to Supposed to Fly: A Sequence from Pilsen, Czechoslovakia
Synopsis
Miroslav Holub is an internationally renowned immunologist who is also a celebrated poet. His poems are meticulously crafted, written in delicate, lean lines, as spare and fine as the inner workings of a watch. The autor of fifteen books of poetry, five books of essays, and hundreds of scientific papers, Holub travels throughtout the world as both scientist and poet, but he makes his home in Prague, Czechoslovakia"" - Literary Cavalcade. ""The book offers poems interspersed with prose reminiscences of growing up in a particular place at a particular time....Most of these short sketches take locations, people, or activities from Holub's youth and find in their recollection more universal truths"" - Rain Taxi. ""Grounded in razor-sharp observation, deep learning, common sense and charm, Supposed to Fly may be the most important work of antiromanticism since Auden's `The Sea and the Mirror.' Few poets in the English language could read it without a shamed face"" - Times literary Supplement.
