Anja Golob

Anja Golob © Jost Franko

Anja Golob (b. 1976 in Slovenj Gradec, Slovenia) is the shooting star of European poetry. Besides Kristina Hočevar she is at present her country‘s most important poet. Her poems are full of rips, nicks and crumbs. In a language that is extremely articulately jointed she tells of the beginning and end of love and of the ThereYesterday and HereToday, of what makes the heart a “cushion for pins”. In passing, her readers also learn something about the speed of light in a vacuum and the luminosity of glow worms in nanometres.
