CRIMSON
Poetry night with Bela Chekurishvili. "We, the apple trees - why do we bloom at all? How did Sisyphus get his stone, how did Salome learn to dance? And if someone wears his cross and complains - what does the cross say? Bela Chekurishvili's poems address many questions. The questionability of life, its facilities and agreements is a central motive of her writing. Bela Chekurishvili belongs to the "turning point" generation in Georgian literature - grew up under the Soviet star and then placed in the sudden freedom of a country. Her poems are based on a rebellion against the rich formal tradition of Georgian poetry and yet are fed by it."-by Norbert Hummelt.
