Works
His work is characterized by very original poetics as far as both imagery and austere, distinctly polished expression are concerned. These qualities refer to the inspiration by Vladimír Holan's poetry. Together with the collections of poetry by Bogdan Trojak, Petr Hruška, Petr Borkovec, Pavel Kolmačka and J. H. Krchovský, Maděra's two highly praised poetry books, Krevel and Komorní hůrka have formed the horizon of recent Czech poetry. Has widely published in the following literary periodicals: Iniciály, Modrý květ, Weles, Host, Tvar, Texty, Sedmá generace etc.
