Book Description

In this bilingual edition, Green Integer presents, for the first time in
English, the poetry of the greatest living Albanian poet. As Janice
Mathie-Heck makes clear in her introduction, Visar Zhiti lived a life of
great privation: locked away in dictator Enver Hoxha's prisons, Zhiti was
not allowed pencil or paper. He wrote his poems in his mind, and he and
other prisoners committed them to memory, in part to keep their sanity
and to enliven the terrible lives they were forced to bear. Only when
Hoxha fell from power and the political prisoners were freed was Zhiti's
poetry brought to print.
Now English-speaking readers can share in the remarkably gentle and
imagistically rich poems produced out of Zhiti's years of suffering.
The Condemned Apple : Selected Poetry (Green Integer)
by Visar Zhiti, Robert Elsie (Translator)
