A collection of verses IN CZECH (for copyright, please write to the author at reiner.cz@gmail.com)

Reiner’s most recent opus is charming and dramatic, shocking and soothing. Readily comprehensible but full of mystery. Exactingly concentrated but nonchalantly flowing. Wernisch’s co­llages are a source of excitement in themselves, very much more than mere “visual accompaniment”. Old and Other Times is a book its authors can be proud of; every home should have one. The book received two nominations for Book of the Year in the prestigious Lidové noviny competition.
