About the book: 1968 / Czech poet Miroslav Valek, together with Vilem Zawada, were nominated for the Nobel Prize in the same year, and the Polish poet Boleslav Lesmian received it. Everything is not like people’s, and the collection is incomplete - there is no first poem, there is no preface by V. Ognev. Not all illustrations (and they are by Vadim Sidur!). Well no! Therefore, this is my annotation to my poet. I have been in love for a long time, from my youth. And “even thirteen-year-old love has its own history, Bloody and sad, like water...” M. Valek. Therefore - as it is! (file author)
