We are thrilled to announce that the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic has awarded Calypso Editions a grant to support the publication of Stomach of the Soul!
Stomach of the Soul is a volume of poems by Sylva Fischerová, translated by author, Stuart Friebert, and A. J. Hauner, which we published a few months ago. Praising these new poems, Bruce Weidl writes that they “represent no less than the redefining of significant ideas such as fate, death, poetry, and even god, reshaped through the jarringly original vision of the world that drives these remarkable poems” while Ilya Kaminsky calls Fischerová “not just one of the most important European poets alive, but one of the few European poets who are great fun to read, without compromising the truth, without selling out the magic.”
We are grateful to the Czech Ministry of Culture for its support of this important work. Please support Calypso Editions by purchasing a copy of Stomach of the Soul today.
