Days of Grace - Selected Poems Paperback
Doris Kareva is one of Estonia's leading poets, admired especially for poems that balance precision and control with passion and bravado. Days of Grace spans over forty years of her poetic output, showing how the sustained depth and clarity of her poetry lies in her ability to create ambiguity and suggest harmony at the same time, with a multiplicity of meanings generating the opposite of clarity: a form of hinting which at its most illuminating becomes utterly oracle-like. Her achievement, according to Estonian Literature, is in writing poems which are both plentiful and fragile like a crystal...balancing on the line between the human soul and the universe, between sound and silence'.
She has also been called a priestess of love' who is fearless as well as discreet in her portrayal Such is the metaphysical sensitivity of her poetry that its moral charge is sensed almost physically.
