`The Works of Love' provides a representative selection from a Yugoslav poet who is increasingly recognized as a major voice in the mainstream of European poetry. In his concern to interpret the past through the present, the present through the past, Lalic has affinities with other cosmopolitan poets such as Eliot and Quasimodo. His richly-coloured Mediterranean style speaks with a reflective depth and immediacy, moving easily between the personal and the metaphysical. Francis R Jones's translations and his selection of the poems were made in close consultation with the poet.
