MIŠA GAMS
Balerina
("The Ballet Dancer")

(60 pages, in Slovene language, illustrated, published in 1997)

The second book of poetry by a representative of younger generation presents 40 poems, among them some longer ballads. Jurij Hudolin observes that Miša Gams' poetry "...talks about suffocating, emotionless world, which is replete with pain, defeat, and anarchic human relations … where love seems to be a distant enigma, and eroticism is more or less perverted, permeated with "strange slime" and dead new-borns."
