We Are Here

Poetry. Translation. The English translations of his poems in WE ARE HERE are no different than the original: they address what Hav considers to be elemental about life, that undeniable essence without which everything makes little sense. His voice is direct and humorous, intelligent, lyrical and philosophical: a voice that takes into account the difficulties of staying close to the elemental. Hav is devoid of sly obfuscation; he is a poet unafraid of being clear. What could bemore direct or elemental than the fact that WE ARE HERE?
