I read it straight through, thiking of Gogol, Calvino, Barthes, and even Henry James when he describes New York in his wonderful American Scenes." -Mark Strand, American Poet Laureate'Maja Herman Sekulic has an extraordinary ability to capture emotions and thoughts in ambiguous yet precise language; her poetry is often ironic, sometimes wry, but always at the same time profoundly serious. It is good to know that poetry is still alive and well, despite all the nay-sayers who have prophesied its death; as long as people like Maja Herman Sekulic continues to write, poetry will continue to live and to enrich our lives.'- Glenn Most, University of Chicago This long poem (The Mighty Irina) by Maja Herman Sekulic is a fascinating and moving exploration of an important female figure in Serbian history. Patterned as a 'dramatic monologue', this new work by one of today's major Serbian poets combines a rich timbre and a fine echoic resonance. It is a fitting follow-up to her Gospa od Vinče. -Richard Berengarten, English poet, Cambridge University
