Five Sea Songs - Jakub was inspired first by poems of Katrina Porteous written in the old dialect of Northumbrian fishermen, which is dying out and now hardly spoken by anyone. That is how the Five Sea Songs (ballads – fates) came into existence.

The Melly-Belly Songs - Later Jakub chose to work on five poems by Keith Armstrong. He joined them in a cycle, characterized by the typical span of Keith’s style – a contrast between, on the one hand, lyricism and nostalgia and, on the other, blistering humour and sarcasm, turning even to social and political satire.

Songs comprise one important part of Zahradník’s work. His music combines a depth of expression, refined style and wide musical range, which extends from piano improvisations, through chansons to choir and chamber-symphonic works.

There is nothing that has not already been done in culture, squeezed or pulled inside out, blown to dust. Classical culture today is made by scum. Those working in the fine arts who make paintings are called artists. Otherwise in the backwaters and marshlands the rest of the artists are lost in search of new and ever surprising methods. They must be earthbound, casual, political, managerial,…

My Career in Poetry or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Institution My Career in Poetry or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Institution
An American poet was invited to the White House in order to read his controversial plagiarized poetry. All tricked out and ready to do it his way, he comes to the “scandalous” realization that nothing bothers anyone anymore, and instead of banging your head against the wall it is better to build you own walls or at least little fences.
