Krátky popis
A Butterfly's Trembling in the Digital Age is the first full poetry
collection from Eleni Cay, a poet born in Martin, northern
Slovakia, and currently resident in the UK. The book speaks to the
poet's own (young) generation about how technology affords new ways
of expressing love, while nostalgically evoking times before
Facebook and selfies. However, nature-versus-technology is not the
primary theme here. In fact, most poems focus on how human beings
are entangled with technology, and on how they jointly influence
all aspects of being in the 21st century. The butterfly, a symbol
of change and fragility, sounds a note of caution about using
technology to reinvent love and quintessentially human values. To
find the ways in which love can survive in a high tech world, one
might need to look again at nature and its laws. The poet tries to
catch those subtle harmonies that are often missed when 'human' and
'technological' are counterposed too exclusively, as Either/Or.
There are 55 poems in the collection, written in a variety of
metrical and stanzaic forms, but mostly in common metre, analogous
to sung music. The poems are accessible on a first read, with
layers that invite a re-reading and re-thinking of what it means to
be loved in the digital age. A Butterfly's Tremblings in the
Digital Age has been translated into English for the first time by
John Minahane.
