čur (born 1977 in Brest, Belarus) lives in Prague since 1998. He
writes mostly poetry, his poems are collected in two "samizdat"
books: "Amphitheatre" (Gdansk, Lutan, 1999) and "Early
harvest" (Stockholm, APKOHA, 2006). A large novel "There,
where we cannot be" (2004), awarded with Yanka Yukhnavets prize,
remains unpublished. Several of his short-stories were published in
Czech and Belarusian literary magazines. He is one of the 10 authors

in Polish) and of the "Belarusian contemporary thought" anthology
(Sanct-Petersburg, 2002). As an essayist he's interested in literary
theory (that he studied together with Spanish language), philosophy
and politics. His Spanish-written essays concenrate on the analysis
of the works by authors like Borges, Cortázar, Calderón de la Barca,
Ortega-y-Gasset; some of these essays won the student competition Premio

Gellner, Reynek), Spanish (Borges, Lorca, Huidobro, Paz) and English
(Larkin, Jeffers, Wilde); he's known, for example, as the translator
of Lear's "Book of nonsense", Carroll's "Alice's Adventures
in Wonderland" or "Pulp Fiction" to Belarusian.
