Summary/Abstract: The poet Petr Hruška (1964), a native of Ostrava, has published his eight coll ection Nikde není řečeno (Itʼs Never Said Anywhere), in which we not only come across motifs from his previous work, which have become part of the myth of Ostra va as an industrial magical city, but we also encounter the notion of it being a pulsa ting locale, filled with artistic fervor. We step over the threshold of home along with the poet and find ourselves in a reality that offers analogues to the mythical extinction of civilisation of ancient Mesopotamia. The collection is interspersed with fictional fragments of texts written on clay tablets, thereby enhancing the artistic quality and intensity of the account provided by the collection as a whole.
