A remarkable compilation honoring the Centennial of the esteemed modernist Macedonian poet Aco Šopov. This comprehensive anthology encompasses Šopov's artistic journey, commencing with his inaugural collection of poetry in 1944, during his valiant struggle against the German occupation in Yugoslavia. In the early 1950s, he unveiled two remarkable collections that marked a significant turning point in Macedonian poetry, heralding the advent of a novel poetic form known as "intimate lyricism." Over the ensuing 25 years, Šopov's artistic output expanded and evolved, acquiring a profound philosophical and cosmic dimension, occasionally venturing into the realm of surrealism.

The Long Coming of the Fire presents the exceptional work of a skilled craftsman relatively unknown in the Anglophone realm. It achieves a "penetrating, resonant, and melodic" poetic language, accompanied by "a lively and pregnant imagery that binds together the experience of the author and reader" (Graham W. Reid).
