Description
"Mystical, mischievous, and musical, Kuciak enchants me with the scope of her imagination, her whimsical flirtations with identity, theology, and the very nature of human existence. I am delighted by her lyrical flare, her wit, and her remarkable ability to be both one and many poets, or one poet with twenty one voices."--Nin Andrews This faux anthology of twenty-one invented poets belongs in the company of world literature's distinguished fabulists--Fernando Pessoa and Italo Calvino--in blurring the boundary between the textual and actual worlds. Agnieszka Kuciak lives in Poznan, Poland, and is the author of two collections of poetry.
