Anthem of Quiet Thoughts - Bujar Tafa - Bog

My vision of the contemporary Albanian and Kosovar poetry discovered by my great friend and a prominent European poet Jeton Kelmendi gives the opportunity to consider it as a very interesting tradition that could make a considerable influence on the development of poetry in Europe. The region of Balkans is well-known for its poetic resources. International Poetry festival in Struga gathered for decades the most prominent and perspective poets from all over the world. Names of Ismail Kadare, Ali Podrimja and Azem Shkreli are appreciated very far from their motherland. That is a pleasure therefore to present to English-speaking audience one of the new interesting voices of this rich culture, the book of Bujar Tafa, Anthem of quiet thoughts.
