Anna Dodas
Before her death in 1986 at age 23, Anna Dodas wrote two remarkable and increasingly influential collections, presented here in one volume together with uncollected poems. Her poems communicate, with terrible urgency, both pain and wonder, mystery and absolute clarity, love and dread. Her imagery creates a completely realized poetic world that is an analogue to the poets lived experience.
In spite of death, in this book we can still find her voice powerfully alive. Maria-Mercè Marçal
