Eugen Brikcius has brought out a new collection Jen se mi neprobuď ze sna (Just Don’t Wake Me from My Dream), whose vivid physicality corresponds to the title and spirit of his previous volume.

It contains love poetry – the poet could not deny his seduction by muses – but features the old-new phenomenon of necessary demise, the proximity of which was previously only apparent between the lines. Thanks to his interaction with muses, living towards death takes on a truly epicurean spirit. The animated body definitively becomes the personification of the word.

The evening is hosted by literary critic Radim Kopáč, Petr Minařík of publishers Větrné mlýny and Natascha Grilj, the director of the Austrian Cultural Forum in Prague.
