โฆ Synopsis
Beautifully translated from the Dutch by David Colmer, the IMPAC Award-winning translator of Gerbrand Bakkerโsย The Twin , Hugo Clausโs poems are remarkable for their dexterity, intensity of feeling, and acute intelligence. From the richly associative and referential โOostakker Poemsโ to the emotional and erotic outpouring of the โmad dog stanzasโ in โMorning, You,โ from his interpretations of Shakespeareโs sonnets to a modern adaptation of a Sanskrit masterpiece, this volume reveals the breadth and depth of Clausโs stunning output. Perhaps Belgiumโs leading figure of postwar Dutch literature, Claus has long been associated with the avant-garde: these poems challenge conventional bourgeois mores, religious bigotry, and authoritarianism with visceral passion.
