Twenty Poems

Kathrin Schmidt

Twenty Poems

This bilingual chapbook of 20 poems by the
German poet Kathrin Schmidt draws together
work from five of her six collections published
before and after the 1990 reunification of the
two Germanys, and makes for an exciting
introduction to her work. Thanks to Sue
Vickerman’s effervescent translations, we
are able to appreciate Schmidt’s irrepressible
poetic style as she ranges across the themes of
gender, identity, the body, eroticism, her own
personal history and language itself.

This anthology is published in collaboration with Beletrina Academic Press, Slovenia, part of the Versopolis project.

The Atlas of Lost Beliefs

Ranjit Hoskote

The Atlas of Lost Beliefs

Commenting on Hoskote's poetry on the Poetry International website, the poet and editor Arundhathi Subramaniam observes: "His writing has revealed a consistent and exceptional brilliance in its treatment of image. Hoskote's metaphors are finely wrought, luminous and sensuous, combining an artisanal virtuosity with passion, turning each poem into a many-angled, multifaced experience."

Skald - Sword & Sea-Cloud

Ian Crockatt

Skald - Sword & Sea-Cloud

The poet Ian Crockatt has published two superb translations of Viking poetry with Arc- Crimsoning the Eagle's Claw: the Viking Poems of Rognvaldr Kali Kolsson, Earl of Orkney and The Song Weigher: the Complete Poems of Egill Skallagrimsson, Tenth Century Viking & Skald — and in this chapbook he uses the same highly-wrought form developed by the Skalds (the professional poets employed by the kings and earls of the Viking courts of the 9th to 13th centuries) to tell a quasi-Viking tale set in the landscapes and seascapes once under Viking control — the West Coast of Scotland where he used to live, and the north-east corner of Scotland where he now lives.
