Praha

Prompted by renowned poet E.D. Blodgett’s deep love for Prague, Praha is a poetic homage to the legendary city’s rich lifeblood. With each poem accompanied by its Czech translation, the pieces in this collection lift the reader over the threshold of mythical understanding and into heart of one Europe’s loveliest cities. Featuring the striking paintings of Robert Kessner, Praha offers the moods of Prague in its seasons and its magic.
