<p>Mária Feren?uhová  has emerged as one of the most promising and original European poets of the twenty-first century and is a rising star at international festivals. Beginning as one of the cool post-modernist Slovak "aNesthetic" and "Text" poets using a matter-of-fact language with precise visual perceptions her work has expanded its range of concerns from urban life to a wider perception of the individual in a world damaged by history and threatened by environmental destruction. At the heart of her work is a profound belief in a necessary relationship between human beings and the earth.<br /><br />It doesn’t take much: touch the earth <br />like one’s own skin <br />let the nervous system <br />overgrow through the border of the body<br />take root <br />descend to the depths of the river <br />not to persist in running <br />to stop <br />give.</p><p> </p>
