A modern sensibility suffused with urban sophistication. In everyday scenes he shows us what’s most noble in human relationships, alongside the basest fears and anxieties. Irony and sarcasm somehow never seem to obscure the warmth of Kārlis’s voice and his attention to intimate details. This book represents Kārlis at the peak of his poetic power: gripping, vivid and not a little romantic. Kārlis himself says: I try to say something that I would like to present as beautiful or, on the contrary, something that can not and must not be taken as beautiful.
Gentle, intelligent and tactful, Kārlis Vērdiņš became the leader of his generation. For all of us, his poetry was a refuge - a different world whose chaos was imbued with understanding. He is a role model for poets - but the kind of role model that no one can really match.
-Jānis Joņevs, Writer, recipient of the 2014 European Union Prize for Literature
Kārlis Vērdiņš is funny, clever, quirky, musical, sweet, puzzled, charming, intense, meticulous, whimsical, gentle, and slightly fantastical. So are his poems. He is a master craftsman with a miraculously unique way of seeing the world.
-Gabriel Jackson, Composer

Paperback. Condición: New. His narrative poems are precise, focusing on what may otherwise be overlooked. Whether fable-like in tone, or ruminating on the familiar such as lying in bed, bathing, drinking water and chatting, Verdins's observation is sensual, often sexy.The erotic is as part of his experience as eating, perhaps the two are inseparable "beautiful as everything that enters your life", just as the world tips into surprising angles, where emotions are upended and light fills every shadow.Karlis Verdins was born in 1979 in Riga.
