Poetry. Translated from the Slovene by Ana Jelnikar. "Mozetic's verses here have caught the ephemeral nature of daily passion-- troubled desires pinned down, collected-- the wings of such specimens trembling under the poet's breathless breath"--Timothy Liu. Spare and delicate, these verses mingle sadness and desire, rendering "a remarkably dark and luminous book"--Nicole Brossard. Brane Mozetic is a poet, writer, translator and editor of a small press; he has published ten books of poetry and 3 works of fiction.
