Description
Wolf One-Eye is an extraordinary cycle of poems - magical, mysterious, sinister, funny - about exile, in which the eponymous protagonist finds himself an exile froman ancient mythological landscape in a new realm of quarks and strange universes.
Dislocated and alone, Wolf travels through totally unfamiliar territory, closely observed by the other voice in these poems, that of the poet/narrator.
Kronbergs is himself an exile, having grown up as a refugee child in Sweden afterthe Second World War, and this gives his poetry a distinctiveness and resonancethat is perfectly captured in Mara Rozitis's translation.
In its original version, Wolf One-Eye was awarded the Latvian Writers' Union prizein 1997 for best poetry collection. The present version is revised and contains asubstantial body of new work.
