Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Aleksandar Sasha Trajkovski's s poetry can be seen as a unified and coherent body of work. Indeed, despite its manifest originality, its radical experimentation, and its dazzling formal variety, his verse yields meaning just as surely as other more conventional poetry. The author argues that an implicit controlling theme--the buried life, people's jealousy of other people's success, people's happiness of other people's pain, or the failure of feeling--unfolds in surprisingly varied ways throughout his work. But alongside dr. Trajkovski's s desire "to live with all intensity" was also a distrust of "violent emotion for its own sake." Some poems illuminate this paradoxical Trajkovski--an exacting anti-romantic realist, skeptical of the emotions, yet incessantly troubled by the fear of emotional failure--through close readings of such poems as "Borderless lines," "Plastic human dolls," The Hollow Men, The Pagan World" and many others. The heart of the book contains extended analyses of Trajkovski's s two masterworks--"Insovlable Enigma", and "And That Storm Came". "Poems from the Balkans" also examines the author's criticism--including his coinage of such key literary terms as the objective correlative, dissociation of sensibility, the auditory imagination--. He concludes with a convincing refutation of charges that the author was an anti-Semite. Here then is a volume absolutely indispensable for all admirers of A. S. Trajkovski and, in fact, for everyone who loves modern literature.
