THE POETRY REVIEW
07.02.2020
Tsveta's book Crookedness was reviewed by Singaporean poet Theophilus Kwek in the Spring 2020 issue of Poetry Review!!! Here are some words from the review: "The precision of Elenkova’s images shines through (and even transcends) the clean, almost earnest diction of Jonathan Dunne’s translation. In a new introduction, Fiona Sampson describes Elenkova as a mystic of our times, her “lucid” observations bringing to light “a poetic world [...] of religious mystery, mortality, love and desire." Such earthy and abundant beauty carries with it always the hard edge of impermanence, unless, of course, it is transformed into poetry."
