Tariel Chanturia is an outstanding figure of the Georgian literature but what makes him such? Is it the fact that he is the master of innovations, the virtuoso of paradoxes, the king of experiments, the magician of rhymes or the architect of rhythm? Hard to say because his poems are as sleek as fish. The longer you think of them, the faster they slip from you. One thing is clear though – they are invariably full of light and life, thought and wit.

The present edition is a complete collection of Tariel Chanturia’s poetic works.
