The Fertile Land

<p>Reconnecting the poetic verb to a metaphysical vein flowing in multiple registers of language Dato Magradze addresses sensations of both individual and collective memory. The references to <em>The Waste Land</em> by T. S. Eliot to the <em>Song of the Land</em> by Mahler are transcended in a founding gesture: the poetic political cosmic hope of a possible transfiguration of a land plunged in desolation into a fertile land. At the end of this textual and existential transmutation a fertile ground will unfold which reinvents a harmony with life. With the forms of matter and with the spirit. With coronation and with freedom.</p>
