Description
"Mystical, mischievous, and musical, Kuciak enchants me with the scope of her imagination, her whimsical flirtations with identity, theology, and the very nature of human existence. I am delighted by her lyrical flare, her wit, and her remarkable ability to be both one and many poets, or one poet with twenty one voices."Nin Andrews
This faux anthology of twenty-one invented poets belongs in the company of world literature's distinguished fabulistsFernando Pessoa and Italo Calvinoin blurring the boundary between the textual and actual worlds.
Agnieszka Kuciak lives in Poznan, Poland, and is the author of two collections of poetry.
