The collected works of one of contemporary poetry's most original voices.
Frank Bidart Knihy
Frank Bidart se ve své poezii zabývá hlubokými otázkami lidské existence a složitostí vztahů. Jeho verše se vyznačují syrovou upřímností a pronikavým vhledem do psychiky, často proplétají osobní zkušenosti s univerzálními tématy touhy, ztráty a hledání smyslu. Bidartův styl je přímý a konfrontační, nebojí se zkoumat temnější stránky lidské duše a odhalovat zranitelnost. Jeho dílo představuje naléhavé a nekompromisní zamyšlení nad tím, co to znamená být naživu.
