Description
In Phenomena (translated from the Latvian ‘Paradibas’) Eduards Aivars’ wry observations transform the mundanity of the everyday into words of quiet, thought-provoking beauty. Following his innovative principle of composition, the collection features many poems with long, expositional titles, which then culminate in a select few words. Trnaslated by Jayde Will.
