Summary

This evocative collection of poems by Slovak poet Eva Luka, translated by James Sutherland-Smith, explores themes of mythology, nature, desire, and identity. The Minotaur's Daughter blends human and animal forms, confronting gender norms and societal constraints through vivid, transformative imagery. Traversing landscapes from Japan to mythic realms, Luka's work resists conformity and embraces poetic freedom in a powerful voice of emotional and existential truth.
