The title comes from Maribor, a city in Slovenia, and in many of the poems, we see the poet's intention to try and make sense out of what remains from the past when combined with new attitudes and new technology. He refers to "the ridiculousness of names" and how people are "alive in a dead language". He asserts that "narration becomes a lesson (moralistic) about the present" and how "time produces uneven memories". Throughout, you can sense there is a hope in both the betterment of life for people in these complicated regions, as well as a wish for older traditions of the culture to remain intact. In #7 he illustrates how the two usually don't mesh: the survival and the denial will be preserved for the end the falsehoods the nuances of deception are no longer postponed trapped in feigned docility in incomplete sentences untoward phenomena conventions blunders. One of the longest pieces is #48, where he discusses all of the topics in a stream-of-consciousness style about the combination of tourists and residents in this land of history and folklore: so what did you expect? what fraction of language to be dedicated to the surface of objects to the inertia of events to the entropy of the world to the elasticity of sounds? the words slide on all the voids. Even though the emphasis seems to be on a larger significance of place, many of the poems appeal as well on a personal level. He considers, briefly, what excuse there is for flowers other than to enjoy their beauty? And how our concentration is lost on signposts and headlines so much that we miss the subtler details of life that have far deeper meanings.
