The collection Poems includes selected verses from three different collections by the author: Verb, The Circle and If. At the time of publication each collection played a crucial role in Rati Amaglobeli’s literary career and was regarded as a significant and influential poetic production by a young author on the contemporary Georgian Poetry scene. Although the poet tests the borderline between sound and meaning, he never goes so far as to reduce a poem to mere sound. He is extremely inventive in seeking forms for his poems, but the essence and idea are never less important. This collection includes his iconic poem Sequentia – or, as it is often called, An Ode to the Alphabet, in which all the letters of the alphabet are employed and woven into the fabric of the poem.
