<i>Where Everyone Leaves Never to Return</i> is a captivating collection of poems in which Czech poet Bronislava Volková a jongleur of contemporary verse masterfully combines voice and nuance as she saunters through love loss mortality and eternal life. With a sharp wit her verses render playful catechisms of why a loving God can make an unloving man but they also dive deep into self-discovery achieving even if just for an instant the hard-earned right to a joyous spirit of inner being. Her work is a testament to her life lived in full--a diverse and all-encompassing experience.&nbsp;<br>
