INTO THE HEART OF EUROPEAN POETRY by JOHN TAYLOR

A book to treasure.

"An intelligent companion to much twentieth-century and contemporary
European poetry, and some prose.... [John Taylor] offers the non-specialist a series of
practical starting points from which to explore contemporary European poetry." --Times Literary Supplement

"(An) exploratory enthusiasm felt in almost every essay. To us Taylor (. . .) miraculously crosses time and space to suddenly appear in Milan, Ljubljana or Salonica, pulling out not only Bonnefoy, Kaplinsky, Brodsky, Celan, Zagajewski, Nemes Nagy, Sebald, Kassabova, Pavese or Montale, but also Erba, Kocbek, Papadimitrakopoulos, Kielar, the 'Dutch Fiftiers'. . ." --Elzbieta Wojcik-Leese, Poetry Wales, Autumn 2009

"An American, long resident in France, John Taylor is one of the critical wonders of the Western European world. Awesomely knowledgeable and invariably fair-minded, his book [Into the Heart of European Poetry] presents essay-length considerations of contemporary poets from Luis Cernuda and Yves Bonnefoy to Radmila Lazic and Marzanna Kielar." --Dennis O'Driscoll, "Tuesday Top Ten", The Book Depository
