It Was Easy to Set the Snow on Fire collects poems from Serbian poet Zvonko Karanovic's entire oeuvre, translated by Ana Bozicevic. Karanovic is 'a counter-cultural icon [who] writes in a vivid, sophisticated vernacular of desire and transcendence amid cultural and political change' ( PEN Translation Fund Advisory Board ). He has traveled widely throughout Europe, hitchhiking and often changing jobs, including owning a music store for 13 years. For many years he has been an underground cult figure and a seminal influence on a generation of younger poets. | It Was Easy To Set The Snow On Fire by Zvonko Karanovic, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
