News at Eleven: For [Vitezslav] Nezval, Prague was "miraculous

as a fountain playing over a cemetery/As a dragon-fly over a sleeping woman as eyes in a lake/As a fire in a goldsmith's shop as a peacock on a belvedere/As a rainbow over a window where someone is playing the piano."

[Kristin] Dimitrova writes with a deceptively simple, playful, light touch, teasing the reader with faux-folk-wisdom and unexpected, bathetic endings ("The truth will make you free/To look for a new job").

from Morning Star: 21st century verse
