"Something Indecent" is intended as a kind of symposium on European
poetry. Seven contemporary Eastern European poets--Adam Zagajewski,
Vera Pavlova, Tomaž salamun, Ales steger, Nikola Madzirov,
Eugenijus Alisanka, and editor Valzhyna Mort--introduce us to poems
by writers who have become for them windows onto the world. They
were asked: Who are the best representative poets of your region?
Your generation? And, more broadly: Who are your favorite European
poets of the 20th century? What European poets, across the
millennia, are most important to an understanding of your
particular region? Spanning thousands of years and thousands of
miles, their surprising, often unpredictable choices--and the
reasons for those choices--are collected here, forming the latest
entry in a poetic conversation carried across centuries, countries,
and traditions. More than a presentation of contemporary Eastern
European poets, "Something Indecent" is a conversation about how
European poets view themselves, their contemporaries, their
century, and the place of their region in the millennia.

Brodsky, Catullus, Paul Celan, John Donne, Zbigniew Herbert, Nazim
Hikmet, Antonio Machado, Czeslaw Milosz, Cesare Pavese, Raymond
