	Miroslav Holub - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Miroslav Holub (13 September 1923 Plzeň - 14 July 1998) was a Czech poet and immunologist.
		Due to his analytic nature, his (almost always unrhymed) poetry lent more easily to translation (overall into more than 30 languages) and was especially popular in the English-speaking world.
		As well as poetry, Holub wrote many short essays on various aspects of science (particularly biology and medicine) and life.

	Miroslav Holub at the Complete Review
		"Holub's concentration on molecular destiny, perhaps strategically, overlooks the fact that we are storytelling animals dependent on each other, and moving towards a goal in ways that are partially constrained by the way we have already moved.
		"Holub is an immunologist, and the rigorous logic of the scientist shows in many of the poems, which are almost mathematical in their analogies.
		Holub's mixing of science and poetry is certainly one of the more obviously striking aspects of his work.

		Holub uses immunology, the study of what the body recognizes as "self" and "other," as model for studying the political problems of insiders and outsiders.

	Guardian Unlimited Books \| By genre \| Andrew Motion introduces Miroslav Holub
		Born in western Bohemia in 1923, Holub was not able to go to university until the war had ended (the Nazis closed down Czech universities during the occupation), then studied medicine at Prague and began publishing poems until he was silenced by the communist coup of 1948.
		Although Holub was able to continue his studies after the coup (in 1954 he joined the Institute of Biology at the Academy of Sciences) he didn't publish poetry again until the "thaw" of the late 1950s.
		It was a controversial choice (Holub English?) yet it accurately weighed the importance of George Theiner's translation to a non-Czech readership.

		Miroslav Holub brought new themes into Czech poetry, those of people working in research laboratories and in operating theatres (he knew this environment from his own personal experience).
		The doctors, the researchers and other main characters of these poems are non-heroic, selfless and mostly anonymous enthusiasts, the "pawns of history", who move humankind forward.

		However, when Miroslav Holub - one such rarity - died last year, Czech dailies printed only very brief, obligatory obituaries.

		There is no doubt that the 19th-century-style nationalistic approach of placing the political opinions of the author above the importance and impact of his work, re-articulated and reinforced by the Communists, is still firmly ingrained in the Czech mind-set.
