Book Description Soft Cover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Text in English. 118 pp. "Born in 1931, a member of the post-WWII 'modernist' generation of Finland's poets, Rekola works her language on the edges of whereof we can, and whereof we cannot speak; the I of her poem is unassuming, yet inviting- see what happens when you read these words as if you (or you, or you) had written them. As British poet Herbert Lomas has noted,'in spite of an impression of distance, there is also an extreme impression of closeness' Perhaps reminiscent, at first glance, of Sappho's 'fragments', certain classical Chinese poets' works and Imagist (and post-Imagist) poems in English, Mirkka Rekola's poems may be said to incorporate elements of all of the above, but their attention - and ours, as soon as we're willing to share it - focuses elsewhere, on the 'elsewhere' within ourselves and all phenomenal manifestations, be they quotidian or singular: call it spirit.".
