Klappentext
Baiba Bi¿ole belongs to the postwar generation of Latvian poets living in exile who reached artistic maturity outside their native country and broke with the older exile generation¿s traditional, nationalistic poetry. In To Taste the River, Bi¿ole's poems are lyrical and personal, often with intense emotion and startling imagery. This is Bi¿ole's first collection of poems in English translation.
