Twelve poems
Tin Ujević
Translated from Croatian by Daša Marić
Twelve poems, translated from the Croatian by Daša Marićs hrvatskog, Richard Berengarten i Daša Marić, brings Tin Ujević's Croatian-language work into English through Shearsman Books. Published in 2013, it is best approached as a book of encounter rather than as a book to solve. Ujević’s small selection carries the charge of a poet being encountered by concentration rather than scale, with each poem asked to stand as a doorway into Croatian modernism. Biography and context may deepen the experience, but they do not need to stand in the doorway. Let the poem arrive first, then let the questions follow. Translation here becomes less a matter of loss than of new access: a voice from Croatia finding another set of nerves in English.
