The seventy-seven poems that form Meta KuA'ar's "Ljubljana" pay
complex homage to her home city, the Slovenian capital. Although
her vision of Ljubljana begins with places, buildings, bridges -
the city the visitor sees - the poet very soon takes us to the
insider's Ljubljana, a personal space alive with associations and
images, rich with references. As she senses the depths and
inter-connections under the city's skin, the city becomes a place
of mind and memory, almost an extension of her body. At the same
time, KuA'ar leads us into a wider meditation on the links between
who and where we are, and between present experience and cultural
heritage. In this beautifully modulated translation, and with
introductory material that guides us through unfamiliar territory,
the English-language reader can savour and enjoy the work of one of
Slovenia's most individualistic and highly-regarded poets for the
first time.
