	The Poetry of Jaroslav Seifert
		Most agree that he is one of the key figures in 20th century Czech poetry – a "poet of the world of the senses, not of transcendence, angst, fear or trembling" as Gibian writes in the interesting and helpful introduction to this book.
		This may be reflected in the translations in the sense that the texts that Osers used may not be the ones now considered to be canonical, and equally that Osers got some of his texts (such as The Plague Column) directly from Seifert and these may also differ from published versions of the same poems.
		Whether you will understand, after reading this book quite why Seifert is considered by Czechs to be one of their greatest poets is another matter.
