A collection of five contemporary Slovene poets including translations by Ana Jelnikar, Paul Killebrew, Phillis Levin, W.

I enjoyed being introduced to these poets. I'm glad Ugly Duckling Press saw fit to have these works translated into English. I found the metaphors fresh and the poems inviting and relatable.
