Katerina Brac by Christopher Reid

The poems in this collection are presented as translations from the work of the eponymous Katerina Brac, who lives in a country, and writes in a language, that are never identified.

Peter Porter, Observer 'Sensitive, intelligent and highly inventive.' Stephen Spender
'Simply one of the funniest and most original poets writing in England today' Charles Simic
