Format: Paperback
What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

2007 Popescu Prize Winner!
The Drums of Silence is a brilliant collection by Estonian prize-winning poet Kristiina Ehin and the first to be published in English. In Kristiina's poetry, history and tradition form the framework from which the present and future are explored. The poems presented are a powerful statement on our world and are at once a rapturous celebration of nature and a lament to civilisation's encroachment on it. Her poems juxtapose the delicacy and exuberance of this natural world with the growing presence of industry and technology in a lyrical and compelling examination of humanity’s relationship with our planet. Interwoven with images of extraordinary radiance abutting shards of sorrow, every stanza takes the reader to a place of awareness and on to one of appreciation.
The Drums of Silence won the 2007 Corneliu M. Popescu Prize for European Poetry in Translation
Ilmar Lehtpere has provided a faithful and precise translation from the original Estonian, allowing the poems to graduate with sincerity and literary authority to another life in a new language.
