Eros, Unbroken, by Annie Kim, is a Croatian poetry collection from Croatia, translated from Croatian by Andrea Jurjevic, published by Word Works, The in 2020. It is a Croatian collection by Annie Kim, translated by Andrea Jurjević, that makes eros a force of continuity rather than a simple subject. The title is almost defiant: desire may be damaged, displaced, or tested, but it is not snapped cleanly in two. I would not approach it as a book that needs to be solved before it can begin working. Start with the title, the pressure of the translated line, and the feeling of a voice making room for itself in English. The value here is not just metadata or representation. It is the chance to let a particular book create its own weather, its own difficulty, and its own way of asking the reader to listen.

If you’d like to see international poetry continue and gain traction, consider requesting this work from your local library, or purchasing it from places like Open Books (a poetry only bookstore), Asterism Books (an independent press distributor), or bookshop.org to connect you with your local bookstores.
