Everything I Need This Spring is the first solo poetry collection by Evelina Rudan, a poet and scholar from Pula and Zagreb (born 1971). The book represents a significant contribution to contemporary Istrian Chakavian lyric poetry.
The intense saturation and density of this poetry make it impossible to read this book in one sitting. It must be taken slowly and measuredly, as each poem requires a longer process of reception.

The following pages are torn from the book of the people's revolution. From the book? No, from the womb, from the veins, from the bloodstream, from the roots of life. They are the history of love.
