Assembly

by Novica Tadić

Poetry. Bilingual Edition. Translated from the Serbian by Steven Teref and Maja Teref. A dynamic artist at the height of his poetic powers, Tadi presents to the reader a world that is at once surreal and hauntingly familiar, a world of outlandish encounters and uncanny creatures. His poetry addresses the challenges of surviving as an artist in a Communist society, and themes of victimization, oppression and spiritual pollution permeate much of his work. ASSEMBLY is a gently subversive and mischievous collection, a harrowing yet humanizing work that is a stunning testimony to Tadi 's outstanding abilities as an artist."

Love Tadic, prefer Simic as his translator. And could've done without the goofy, translator-penned opening poem. Ooof.
