It has been one of the most exciting things in modern poetry, to watch this journey being made. -Ted Hughes The symbolist poetry of Mr. Popa, a modernist, was widely hailed as the finest in the Serbian language and an artful mix of folk poetry and surrealism. His language was succinct, often aphoristic and elliptical, and it focused on the specific over the abstract. -The New York Times No other Serbian poet sounds like Popa.
