Undeniably one of the most engaging and enjoyable poets currently writing in Europe, Aleš Šteger is a cultivated and often brilliant poet whose work demands rereading for its fluency and lumination. He maintains an air of philosophical sophistication while imbuing his work with a laconic satire and aberrant minimalism that makes it distinct in the memory. A leading light in the rich Slovenian poetry community, we are very pleased to introduce Aleš Šteger as Maintenant edition Forty Five.
