Contemporary Macedonian Poetry

Works selected from twenty-five poets from the Balkan regions, based on volumes published during the past twenty years. “”Many of the poems evoke peasant art from Yugoslovia, of which much of Macedonia was a part for much of this century. Brilliant and ornate, with vivid dreamlike images, the work of Slavko Janevski is painterly in the extreme…Mateja Matevski’s hard-edged poems offer a glory of crammed imagery…Osers’ selections make us hunger for more”” – Booklist. “”A valuable contribution to our appreciation of Macedonian poetry as one of the most vibrant in world literatures”” – Slavic Review.
