Despite being awarded the Nobel Prize in literature in 1984, much of Czech poet Jaroslav Seifert's work has yet to be translated into English. Publication of Early Poetry will earn for Seifert well-deserved literary recognition. Seifert's poetry is strongly situated within the Czech literary tradition of Poetism, which evolved into a playful, lighthearted refuge from world history while maintaining an edge of social consciousness.

Nobel Prize winner Jaroslav Seifert's poetry is strongly situated within the Czech literary tradition of Poetism, which evolved into a playful, light-hearted refuge from world history while maintaining an edge of social consciousness. Called "a living symbol of the continuity in modern Czech literature" by V clav Havel, Seifert remains a towering figure in European poetry more than a decade after his death.

Although Seifert lived through the many historic turns of his homeland, his was not a political poetry, except in its constant expression of love for his homeland, its beauties and its values. He was the great poet of Prague, of love, of the senses. His work was unpretentious, lyrical yet irreverent, earthy, charming. Seifert was known for the simplicity of his verse, yet his poems are full of surprises, never what at first they seem.

Vitezslav Nezval (1900-58) was an active participant in the European avant-garde between the two world wars. In the '20s he was the founding figure of poetism', a movement of poets and artists centred in Prague. Like other major innovators, he worked through a prolific sweep of modes and genres and formed an alliance with Andre Breton and his Paris circle in the 1930s, founding the first surrealist group and magazine outside France. This collection brings together, for the first time, a sampling of Nezval's major works from the '20s and 30's.'

Although many of Heine's poems are deceptively simple on the surface, the multiple allusions, word plays, and shifts and breaks in diction and tone make them almost untranslatable. Arndt not only renders the meaning of the originals, but preserves the poems' rhyme schemes as well as their moods and multiple cultural resonance.

For this sequence of poems, organized like so many reflecting mirrors that amongst one another exchange an infinite commentary, the historic reference and point of departure is Catullus and the work where the first century Latin poet tells of his passion for Lesbia, whom he by turns and concurrently loved and hated.
