Petr Borkovec – The Poets’ Guru?

Summary/Abstract: The study analyses the influence respected Czech poet Petr Borkovec (b. 1970) had on the younger Czech and Slovak poets being the editor of their poetry collections, namely Lom (2013) by Martina Blažeková, Oheň po slavnosti (2011) by Kamil Bouška, Sněhy a další (2010) by David Voda, Suť (2007) and Vlastivěda (2010) by Jonáš Hájek, and Co drží Nizozemí (2010) by Viktor Špaček.
