Nikola Madzirov reads from Remnants of Another Age [video]
Bloodaxe Books, releasing Nikola Madzirov’s Remnants of Another Age in the U.K. this year, recently put out a sensational video of Madzirov reading poetry from the collection, in both English and his native Macedonian language.
First published by BOA in 2011, Li-Young Lee has said that Madzirov's collection “move[s] mysteriously by means of a profound inner concentration, giving expression to the deepest laws of the mind” and that its “linguistic ‘making’ is informed by and vivid evidence of a serious self-making, soul-making, and heart-making.”
Take a few minutes to watch the beautiful video below, and hear Madzirov read eight of his poems including, “I Don't Know,” “Separated,” “After Us,” “Before We Were Born,” “Many Things Happened,” and “Fast Is the Century.”
