Hic sunt homines
Petr štěpánek
Fifth poetry book written by Radek Štěpánek represents a new interesting type of lyric poetry so-called “enviromental poetry”. Hic sunt homines i.e. there are people which is reflected in the theme of the book. Metaphors gently and emotionally reflect human imprint in the nature and the global problems of the contemporary world through topics from our homeland and also from exotic countries. The author’s poems are not experimental at all or self-reflexive, but slightly meditative and moral.
Epilogue wrote professor Hana Librová, the author of bestseller Věrní a rozumní where you can also find Radek Štěpánek’s poems.
