| book description |

With The Grove of the Eumenides, the Lithuanian poet Tomas Venclova affirms his place as one of Europeâ€™s greatest living poets, the heir to Akhmatova, Mandelstam and MiÅ‚osz. Venclovaâ€™s masterful poetry upholds a vision of the world that enables us to endure the darkness of our time through his singular insights, ethical endurance and profound compassion. With classical grace, yet manifesting a deep commitment to remain a witness to the contemporary world, The Grove of the Eumenides is a collection of great wisdom. Venclovaâ€™s poetry addresses the desolate landscape of the aftermath of totalitarianism, as well as the ethical constants that allow for hope and perseverance. Bloodaxe published another selection of his poetry, The Junction, in 2008, bringing together new translations of his most recent work from that time as well as a selection of poems from his 1997 volume Winter Dialogue. While The Junction covered poems written while he was still in Lithuania before his forced emigration â€“ and poems from his first decades in the US dealing with exile â€“ The Grove of the Eumenides addresses â€˜later lifeâ€™ issues of democracy, memory, climate, travel, ethics and ageing. There is no overlap between the two editions.
