MILA HAGUOVÁ is one of Slovakia’s most highly-regarded poets, and this, her second full-length collection in English translation from Arc, selects poems from two of her books, the prize-winning Biele rumupisy (White Manuscripts, 2007) and Miznutie anjelov (The Disappearance of Angels, 2008).
Nature, eroticism, memory and loss are inseparably interwoven in these fragile, yet immensely powerful, poems. Haugová’s language is often experimental, yet the emotional thrust of each poem is quite clear. She writes movingly about the end of a love affair, about her childhood experiences (both painful and inspiring), and about the death of her mother; no experience, however distressing, is discarded, since it can only contribute to wider understanding and acceptance.
