The Well at Morning
Author: Bohuslav Reynek
13,60 €
Bohuslav Reynek's poems and prints offer two ways into a single creative world. The Well at Morning brings English-speaking readers a selection of his poetry and twenty-five artworks. Justin Quinn's translations are complemented by essays by Martin C. Putna, the translator himself, and Jiří Šerých, opening up literary, translation, and visual art contexts.
In the available poetry excerpt, rural landscapes, animals, and changing seasons meet solitude, grief, and Christian imagery. Concrete observation becomes a space for spiritual reflection; the verse employs sound, rhythm, and rhyme. The book presents poetry alongside context that may also be useful to readers familiar with Reynek's Czech work. This English-language eBook will appeal to readers interested in modern Czech poetry, spiritual lyric poetry, and the meeting of literature and visual art.
The Well at Morning presents Reynek as both a poet and a visual artist. The English selection of poetry is accompanied by prints and three essays that help place different aspects of his work in a broader context.

What is The Well at Morning about?
The subtitle places the selection of poems and artworks within the years 1925–1971. Justin Quinn translated the poetry; the accompanying texts explore its literary significance, translation choices, and Reynek's printmaking.
The sample poems reveal connections between natural details and inner, spiritual experience. Images of autumn, animals, and everyday rural life recur within a tension between suffering and consolation. These observations come from a partial selection and offer a sense of the reading experience. The book belongs to the Modern Czech Classics publishing series.
