The poets in this anthology, two women – Maya Sarishvili and Lela Samniahshvili – and four men – Rati Amaglobeli, Shota Iatashvili, Gaga Nakhutsrishvili and Irakli Charviani – represent the ‘here and now’ of Georgian poetry in six very distinct voices.
By turns lyrical and moving, surreal and ironic, hard-hitting and comic, the poems in this anthology are an excellent starting-point from which to discover the richness of contemporary Georgian poetry.
