That Nostalgia

Více o knize

Exploring themes of dislocation and the complexities of identity, this collection captures John Mateer's global travels and observations from various cultures, including Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Central to his work is the critique of imperial nostalgia, particularly reflecting on Portugal's unique historical context. Mateer's background in South Africa informs his nuanced political awareness, allowing for ironic reflections on contemporary life. This anthology, featuring poems from 1995 to 2016, invites readers to examine their own perceptions and experiences in a chaotic world.
