And here I am

the long version

"Lyuobomir Levchev has long been recognised internationally as an outstanding poet and he is the leading poet of Bulgaria. There is a wide range of emotional content, a wide reach of political and personal context, from sorrow to humour, from dread to optimism. This is a European voice calling to those countries unaware of Bulgaria's culture and history; the imagery is striking, the stance often unusual; both John Donne and Robert Lowell come to mind."--BOOK JACKET.
