must be reached a book should serve as the ax for the frozen sea within us these are quotes from franz kafka who is the most important poet for the author of this book in this collection the author tries to reach that point to approach the line nobody knows where this point is and at what moment there is no turning back the collection mostly includes poems of the last ten years or so which in metaphorical forms approach above mentioned point some of the texts are prose poems that open new possibilities of language and metaphor poetics explores meanings and mysteries of human memory but here in crossing the line i also get a sense of clarity as if one is writing about final things as if the perspective of a foreign language gives one a distance that allows one to see things with precision that is almost eerie yes there isn t just a welcome strangeness here as is often the case with writers who work in a foreign language there is also a kind of wisdom which comes from the experience of crossing that line ilya kaminsky cover design asya dodina the cover features the work by asya dodina and slava polishchuk exit xviii from the exits and corners series 18 00 isbn 978 1

suffered terribly in wartime from the never ending human appetite for cruelty moved me profoundly i have read blood moon over and over and in my opinion there is true greatness here this volume of
