Poetic Obituaries: After she [Viola Fischerova] had her first book

rejected by communist publishers in 1957, Fischerova made her book debut after the fall of communism in 1993. She returned home in 1994.

Her poems, influenced by her experience with death--her second husband also died--have been published in anthologies abroad and in separate volumes in Poland and Spain. She received several literary awards at home and abroad.
