Lecture in language

Czech

Radovan Jursa (CZE)

cardiac surgeon and poet

„"... sure, when it stands together, it is difficult to avoid comparison. One match would be here. Getting into the interior of a man as short as possible and doing something fundamental there. In this regard the poem might resemble the surgery....“

 

"... But otherwise surgery is a sure thing, you know exactly what you want and you have to win. Unlike surgery, you have no certainty in poetry. The probability that a poem goes wrong is high and often it does not matter. In both cases it is struggle, but in poetry, you come across impossible."

 

He has published two collections of poetry diving into the depths of consciousness and subconsciousness. In the fall of 2019, his new poetry collection should be published.
