Description for Come to Me (Arc Translations)
Paperback. This book represents Karlis at the peak of his poetic power: gripping, vivid and not a little romantic. Translator(s): Lesinska, Ieva. Series: Arc Translations. Num Pages: 144 pages. Category: (G) General (US: Trade); (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 217 x 139 x 14. Weight in Grams: 160.
A modern sensibility suffused with urban sophistication. In everyday scenes he shows us what's most noble in human relationships, alongside the basest fears and anxieties. Irony and sarcasm somehow never seem to obscure the warmth of Karlis's voice and his attention to intimate details. This book represents Karlis at the peak of his poetic power: gripping, vivid and not a little romantic. Karlis himself says: "I try to say something that I would like to present as beautiful or, on the contrary, something that can not and must not be taken as beautiful."
