Pandezie
2021 – Revue Prostor
Poetry anthology curated and edited by Anna Luňáková
Pandezie is a testimony of Czech poets and poetesses that reflects on the pandemic, but also how it has entered our everyday life. The texts selected for the anthology by the poet and philosopher Anna Luňáková are in dialogue with each other, they harmonise, contradict or confirm each other. Her aim was to create a time capsule that recorded the constant transformations of the present in times of pandemic. The anthology was realised together with the editorial collective of the revue Prostor in the midst of an ongoing epidemic, despite the difficulties of the time and the subject. The work juxtaposes struggle with solitude, the act of writing with pain, humor with sadness, and irony with seriousness. If the muses are silent in war, what are they likely to whisper to us during a global pandemic?
