Lillian Necakov steps into the operating dwell of human history to act the beat of a troubled world. This is visceral poetry that bears witness to a “landscape haunted by centuries of rage,” in which the drama of public life takes a personal toll on those who are “infected with the ceremony of war.” Necakov’s montage of startling imagery is a powerful antidote to indifference and an elegaic testament to the elements of the human condition that once made us whole.

His poems analyse the ‘unnamed cities of light’ created by the artist reflecting and dissecting how the creative impulse can bring about to both solace and destruction.
