"Listen carefully. . . . She has something to say."--Joseph Brodsky
"Tzveta Sofronieva's poetry sparkles. Her memories go from Homer and Dostoyevski to Charlie Chaplin's dance steps. Above all Sofronieva is a mythological poet. Each narration is a Cavafian voyage, never completed in order to wonder. The lucent version by Chantal Wright captures the verse and fluid images of Sofronieva's poetry--Willis Barnstone, judge
