Böcker av Philip Nikolayev

Lyn Hejinian selected this, Nikolayev's first collection, as Winner of the 2001 Verse Prize.

This is cosmopolitan one-man theater at its best. Words do not swallow the reader: they flow to a varied musical rhythm and make sense. Nikolayev's collection models a persuasive modern hero-an uprooted intellectual at home in diverse cultures who stares at the world through a unique pair of eyes.
