The Fertile Land, Paperback

Reconnecting the poetic verb to a metaphysical vein, flowing in multiple registers of language, Dato Magradze addresses sensations of both individual and collective memory. The references to The Waste Land by T. S. Eliot, to the Song of the Land by Mahler are transcended in a founding gesture: the poetic, political, cosmic hope of a possible transfiguration of a land plunged in desolation into a fertile land. At the end of this textual and existential transmutation, a fertile ground will unfold which reinvents a harmony with life. With the forms of matter and with the spirit. With coronation and with freedom.
