Description

In his first collection, Hammers and Bells, published by Ekstasis Editions, Kohan cast a wide net over universal myth and collective experience in poems infused with deep spirituality and sensuality. Rain of Naughts, his second collection, is equally rapturous, with language both reverential and concise. Informed by history, landscape, and the echo of some of Russia’s greatest poets — Pasternak, Mandelstam, Tsvetaeva — Rain of Naughts is a lyric cloudburst that signals a change in the weather of Canadian poetry.
