Krhki jezik / Delicate Tongue by Ariela Herček is a bilingual poetry book that, through self-translation, explores the personal and linguistic rift between English and Slovene. The poems often draw on real experiences, infused with tenderness, pain, and vulnerability.
​
The collection departs from traditional bilingual poetry and elevates it into a dialogue between identities. What takes centre stage is not translation as a function, but as an artistic act that reveals layers of meaning that would remain hidden in a single language.
