Poetry. Translated from the Albanian by Erica Weitzman. "In Erica Weitzman's resolute translation, Valentina Saracini's staccato-grammared voice sketches a double space--the pulsing emotional landscape of resistance, negation, revision, set in a particular place of trees, stones, gods, color, history. A subtle navigational chart to an inner coast of Albania we have not known of until now"--Natasa Durovicova. "This collection of Albanian poetry from Kosovo does a wonderful job of bringing a fascinating and important but little-known European literature to a broader audience. The translations are fluid and faithful, rendering beautifully in English both the sense and the sentiment of the original Albanian, which itself is deeply affecting"--Victor A. Friedman, University of Chicago.
