Overview
Pavel Srut'sWorm-Eaten Time collects the seminal work of one of Czech Republic's most important living poets, in an award-winning translation by Deborah H. Garfinkle. With dark humor and surprising tenderness, Srut's Soviet-banned masterpiece is an elegy for Srut's fallen homeland, written in the months following the Soviet invasion. An essential addition to the canon of twentieth century banned literature, his work as a poet testifies to the power of poetry and the human spirit that can overcome the forcesthat would silence an individual's will to speak the truth. "Pavel Srut is the best poet of his generation." --Arnost Lustig
