The Stone Thrower

Antun Šoljan was one of the preeminent Croatian poets in Yugoslavia, and the appearance of this volume continues the presentation of great poets from that country: Michalić, Slaviček, Pavolović. Šoljan, born in 1932, has been in the forefront of modern poetry, but is also a dramatist, essayist, critic, and translator — having completed the definitive versions of Shakespeare and T.S. Eliot for Croatian readers. His poetry is intelligent, witty, tough, wry — all the attributes of a sensibility shaped in the shadowy years behind Tito’s lead curtain.

Translated by Charles Simic, A.S. Tomson, A. Nizeteo, G. Marvin Tatum, A.R. Mortimer, Bernard Johnson.
