Love, Death and Krchovský

 

Czech underground poet, member of musical formation Krch-off Band. Born fifty years ago in Prague. He summoned his work into a volume of poetry called Básně (1998). Newer poetry was published as Poslední list (2003) and Nad jedním světem (2004). He writes in a neodecadent tone, in virtuous verse. His themes are Love and Death, which he exposes  in decayed, expressively stylized scenery. He confronts “selfgodding” with feelings of depression and vanity, dissolves fear of nothingness in a stream of black humour and absurdity. He belongs to the most original figures of Czech poetry within the last fifty years.

Quo vadis podle J. H. Krchovského

 

Odnikud nikam jdu, nesejde na směru...

asi to obrátím, než se zas naseru

...jdu domů pozpátku, po druhém chodníku

není mi o moc líp, jdu nikam odnikud

 

(Leda s labutí, 1995)
