Under the Eaves of a Forgotten Village is unique - it is the first anthology of contemporary Bulgarian poetry to be translated into English. Here are sixty poems by leading writers in Bulgaria today - from Dora Gabe, now in her eighties, to Vladomir Bashev, who died tragically in 1967 at the age of thirty-two. Biographical notes and comments on Bulgarian literature generally are included. The design is by David Shaw, based on a scultpture by Maryon Kantaroff. The translations were undertaken by two Canadian writers. Nikola Rousanoff, a native Bulgarian, is a graduate of the University of Toronto. John Robert Colombo, who has published ten books of poems, is well-known as the editor of Colombo's Canadian quotations.
