Description
Martina Kastnerová's debut poetry collection is a bold expedition into the space between man and the world, between the inner and the outer, between experience and its metaphysical echo. The author, whose domain has been literary and philosophical reflection, emerges here as a poet with a distinctive language and strong emotional urgency.
Her poetry draws on the tradition of modern European thought and expressive lyricism – it resonates with tones of Holan's pathos and contemporary introspective sensitivity. The collection is not merely a compilation of poems but an organically constructed poem that invites dialogue and deeper reflection on what it means to be present – in body, in time, in culture.
Martina Kastnerová (born 1981) works as a philosopher and literary theorist. This book is her first poetic appearance – and at the same time a testimony to the transformation of an academic voice into poetry that is profoundly existential.
