Osip Is Heading South

In this debut collection by Marie Iljašenko, the poet is both a cartographer and an accomplished guide; she is well versed in a variety of professions. She moves through times and spaces and languages with such ease, almost effortlessly, that it is astonishing. This is not education – rather a search for a place to start from, a place that is always uncertain, elusive. Its both desperation and a wonderful lightness. – Petr Borkovec
