“These miraculous poems of everyday matter magnified by forty
reveal our world in all its pristine glory – reminiscent of Pablo
Neruda’s household odes, but stranger. Her sketches of waterfalls
are extraordinary, as if we are witnessing the birth of water and
every inch hallucinatory. Her magnifying eye probes the roots of
matter and spirit, where they intertwine and dance with light.
Tsvetanka Elenkova has a mystic’s eye, an inventive vision honed
with surgical precision.” —Pascale Petit “In Magnification
Forty, Tsvetanka Elenkova turns her piercing poetic intelligence
upon the small things of the world. She lifts them up to us in all
their revelatory and spiritual power. Elenkova is a visionary, who
makes quietness speak and who reminds us that the miracle of
embodiment is realised not only in the exceptional but in what’s
humble and quotidian. This deeply mindful book is a call for us to
pay attention to what we experience. It’s also a masterclass in
the lucid and economical poetics that have made Elenkova into a
leading European poet.” —Fiona Sampson
