Liter 2024

None of my previous 15 books have cost me as much effort, doubt about oneself and the text, persuasion, to try again, that perhaps, when I sleep, maybe.it will work. My hands will stop shaking chaotically and the previously clean, empty pages will gradually fill with the imprints of life. Reflections of moments experienced, disappointments, joys and unhappiness, expectations and vain hopes. Life pushes all this on us, secretly tempting us to succumb, and the poet is here to remind us of this. And so I act.
For the promise I made and want to fulfill, to myself and 26 friends, authors from the literary website Liter.cz; to the authors of this book.

Everything is very fleeting, except for one thing; and that is a poem.
