Miloslav Topinka: Hadí kámen . Eseje, články, skici (1966-2020)

The poet Miloslav Topinka reads from the comprehensive edition of his essays from 1966-2020 called Snake Stone, which was published in the second, significantly extended edition in the Brno publishing house Host. Topink's essayist texts are an equal pandan of his poetry. They are based on the categorical requirement of genuineness, which is the basic experience of the poet. "Mácha seeing", Charles Baudelaire, Gérard de Nerval, Arthur Rimbaud, Velemir Chlebnikov, Henri Michaux, Roger Gilbert-Lecomte and High Game, T.S. Eliot, or the essay "Stirling of Vista", written for encounters with astrophysics and cosmologists, about poetry as a means of changing speech, man, universe, reality.
