Further DetailsTitle: Bitter Grass Condition: New Description: "Bitter Grass was written in 1976 while I was in my last year of high school in the city of Lushnje in Albania. It was refused by N. Frasheri, the government publication house in Tirana. According to the censor, 'the texts in this collection do not deal with the theme of our socialist village; the hero of the poems is a solitary person who flees from his contemporaries, from the Association of Pioneers, from reality; moreover, the transformations that socialism has brought to the countryside under the guidance of the Party are entirely absent...' At that time, the collection had the title Diary of the Wood. I translated the texts from Albanian into Italian in 1999. Two years later, in 2001, the work was published for the first time in Italy. This new publication has been expanded and includes new texts in respect to the first edition. Offering these poems to readers, it's as if I were going back many years to the icy and inhospitable winter of the Albanian dictatorship where I began my journey as a poet." -Gezim Hadari Author: Gezim Hajdari EAN: 9781848617032 Contributor: Ian Seed (Translated by) ISBN: 9781848617032 Format: Paperback Language: English, Italian Item Height: 229mm Item Length: 152mm Genre: Poetry & Drama Publisher: Shearsman Books Release Date: 01/10/2020 Item Width: 5mm Item Weight: 132g Translator: Ian Seed Release Year: 2020 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
