Hardcover. This anthology features poetry and selected short prose written by George Bacovia. George Bacovia (1881-1957) is regarded as a symbolist, existential poet who has been likened to the Pre-Raphaelites as well as Edgar Allen Poe, no doubt because his world is set at twilight and obsessed with death. Bacovia's prose and prose poems reveal his concern for the underdog and his yearning for new ideals. His descriptions of people and places are often set against a lyrical background and linked to an internal dialogue or a rhetorical question. They are sensual with powerful visual images, which also reveal Bacovia's introspective eroticism. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.
