No copies of this book were found in stock from 834 online book stores and marketplaces. What book is that? Well, the last book (2007) of the most prominent Serbian poet. No copies, worldwide. Emptiness.
When we visited a small library in Cedeira, Galicia, we noticed that all books there stopped being borrowed after 1998. Literally, all the stamps were older than 1998.
What happened in 1998? Internet.
Monkey no need book has internet.
Think about that for a moment, think about how scary that is.
I wanted to read the great poets. I couldn’t – there are no translations.
I have to do it myself if I want to, and publish it myself.
I even wrote a poem about the phenomenon: Let us believe in the experts.
We all know who these ‘experts’ are.
They are the Order of Flimsy Essays who increasingly
believe they represent the highest intelligence on earth.
What can we do? We can forget.
We can forget all the poets that ever lived.
Monkey has experts and internet.
Good luck, monkey!
