About the Book

The works of Gjekë Marinaj, Albania's leading poet, have been praised, translated, published, and discussed in over twenty languages and countries. His most celebrated poem, "Horses," drew the attention of the dictatorship's censors when it was published and forced Marinaj to escape his country pursued by armed men. Later, the poem became the anthem for the democratic forces that freed the country. He has won several of the world's most prestigious prizes for his poetry and criticism, but his remarkable body of passionate, profound, and wildly original poetry is only now translated and published in English for the first time.

Frederick Turner, a prizewinning Anglo-American poet, critic, and translator, has translated this generous collection of Marinaj's major poems into English with the close collaboration of the poet himself. Gathered into nine sections--Home, Albania, Amor, Admonitions, Acheron, Heroines, Metaphysics, Poets, and The Earth--the volume concludes with an extraordinary long poem, "The Lost Layers of Vyasa's Skin." With his fascinating introductory essay, Turner contextualizes Marinaj's work, describing the ways in which Albanian history, culture, and politics have energized Marinaj's poetry and its poetics.
