Moss & Silver, by Jure Detela, is a Slovenian poetry collection from Slovenia, translated by Raymond Miller with Tatjana Jamnik, published by Ugly Duckling Presse in 2018. It is a Slovenian collection by Jure Detela where nature, texture, ethics, and luminous detail sit close together. Moss and silver create a tactile contrast: softness and gleam, forest floor and metal, humility and shine. I would not ask the reader to solve this book before feeling it. The better invitation is to start with the image that will not quite explain itself, then follow the pressure of cadence, silence, and address. For this library, the book matters as more than a representative entry from Slovenia. It gives English-language readers another route into how poetry travels: not as a tidy report from elsewhere, but as a living encounter with local weather, historical pressure, and the privacy of a voice.

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.
