Supposed to Fly: A sequence froom Pilsen, Czechoslovakia - Softcover

Miroslav Holub is the Czech Republic's most important poet, and one of her leading scientists. His Poems Before & After: Collected English Translations was recently reissued by Bloodaxe, who also publish The Jingle Bell Principle, a collection of his prose pieces. Supposed to Fly is a highly original and entertaining gathering of poems - with some prose interruptions - drawn from his native city of Plzen, perhaps better known, for its world-famous beer, by its German name of Pilsen. The book also includes surrealist photographs accompanied by equally surrealist or absurdist captions.
