The Swing in the Middle of Chaos: Selected Poems - Softcover
Sylva Fischerova's poetry moves in and out of historical events, with an understanding and loving eye on our frailties as well as our corruptive acts, against the backdrop of her commanding sense of space and time, and 'makes beauty from monsters'."

About the Author:
Sylva Fischerova teaches at Charles University in Prague.
Review:
The best translations are those that don't appear to be translations - these poems are stunning as poems - rippling with metaphor, spontaneous, terse but nuanced. Driven by a restless moral intelligence which never loses urgency, Fischerova's poems mix hope with irony, showing why the world makes us ache. --Dennis Schmitz
Mostly the poems seem to concern themselves with children and with God s existence. Parenthood seems to have matured the verse of Sylva Fischerova. --World Literature Today
