Come to Me (p) : selected poems of Kārlis Vērdiņš
Verdins poetry displays modern sensibility suffused with urban sophistication. In everyday scenes he lays bare what is most noble in human relationships, alongside the basest fears and anxieties. Irony and sarcasm somehow never seem to obscure the warmth of Karlis's voice and his attention to intimate details. His narrative poems are precise, focusing on what may otherwise be overlooked. Whether fable-like in tone, or ruminating on the familiar such as lying in bed, bathing, drinking water and chatting, Verdins' observation is sensual, often sexy. The erotic is as part of his experience as eating, perhaps the two are inseparable beautiful as everything that enters your life , just as the world tips into surprising angles, where emotions are upended and light fills every shadow. This book represents Karlis at the peak of his poetic power: gripping, vivid and not a little romantic. Karlis himself says: "I try to say something that I would like to present as beautiful or, on the contrary, something that can not and must not be taken as beautiful."
