Overlooked
in the United States, a wide array of Nordic poets is given its due time in
the spotlight, thanks to this collection from widely published
authors/translators Sumari and Stochholm. An essential anthology for any
serious student of international poetry, and for any practicing American
writer: there is much to learn from our overseas friends.
"Widening our view of contemporary world poetry, this anthology presents -
in fluid translations ... - 17 poets born after 1962 from Denmark, Iceland,
Finland, Sweden and Norway. While their names may sound unfamiliar to most
Americans, the formal, linguistic, and tonal variety won't ... the best of
these [poems] reveal a contemporary Nordic beauty." - Publishers
