What is Nothing Is Lost : Selected Poems about?

This is the first comprehensive English-language collection of verse by the most celebrated Slovenian poet of modern times and one of Europe's most notable postwar poets, Edvard Kocbek (1904-1981). The selections introduce the reader to the full spectrum of Kocbek's long and distinguished career, starting with the pantheist and expressionist nature poems of his early period and continuing through the politically engaged poetry written during and after World War II, to the philosophical and metaphysical meditations of his fecund late period. Readers will be struck by the originality and freshness of Kocbek's sinewy and intense vision, rendered into fluid and idiomatic English by two experienced translators. The Slovenian texts appear on the facing pages. **__The opening stanza of "Moon with a Halo"__** ? __The man beside me was killed.__ __He had a mother who bore him__ __and a father who made him toys,__ __he had a brother and a playful uncle__ __and a little girl with blond braids,__ __he had a wooden cart and a wooden horse,__ __a trunkful of colored dreams__ __and a brook where he used to fish.__ ?
