To The Letter

"Tomasz Râoçzycki's To the Letter intensifies his idiosyncratic struggle against the plague of nonsense, banality, and lies. Set against the rise of authoritarianism, the poems contend with Eastern Europe's complex communal history to reveal the individual's yearning for an absent hero - be it angelic messenger, police detective, beloved, or the protean poem himself - who might be able to rescue us from our hopelessness." --
