...poems inhabit an interior voice. Maybe that’s how she prefers to see it, but during this reading I came to the conclusion that there was an audible voice in her poetry which shows itself at its strongest moments.

He hasn't spoken to his Slav colleagues in weeks. And if any Albanian civilians are killed, he told TIME, he will leave the government entirely. That means Macedonian forces face the near impossible task of holding collateral damage to zero...
