Alexander Shurbanov’s short, spare, and insightful poems are urgent messages from the deep. They show us that, despite everything, especially history, the world keeps reemerging, transfigured and fresh. It is our task to encounter it anew, to take it inside us, through art. This is, as he puts it, “all the immortality we have.”
Edward Hirsch
Whether he’s writing about the natural world, a busker in the metro or in response to other writers and artists, Alexander Shurbanov exhibits a rare ability to discover meaning and value in the seemingly inconsequential. He is a poet alive to immanent possibilities and, as such, he brings a profoundly humane perspective to bear on our day-to-day encounters and predicaments. His is a poetry which continually repays close attention.
