"1968 marked the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the Czechoslovak state, an anniversary saddened by the traumatic events of August. MPT 5 is largely Czech, not Czechoslovak, the reason being that the Slovak translations received were in a raw state that, for various reasons, it was not possible to prepare an adequate selection in time" (Editorial Introduction). Includes 19 Czech poet contributions.
