Selected Poems by Ondra Lysohorsky, Cape Editions 1971 HC
$125.00
Ondra Lysohorsky's first volume of poetry - written in his native Lachian idiom, half way between Czech and Polish - burst upon the Czechoslovakian literary scene in 1934 and very soon his name was a household word. Today, as a result of an official policy of hostility and discrimination - carried to the lengths of keeping his name out of reference works and removing his poems from pre-war anthologies - he is virtually unknown to a whole generation of poetry readers in Czechoslovakia.
Octavo, Hardcover with dust jacket. Publisher's black cloth over boards. Silver titles on spine. 112pp. Light crease/soiling to jacket. Price clipped. No interior marks or foxing. VG+
