Reviews
Reviews 'The poems speak plainly and think plainly and that is theirpower as translated by Collins, but their effect is to offer a multi-dimensionalset of reports, contemplations and intense but underplayed tensions. It isn't anormal book of poetry, but it is certainly poetry and despite its plainness andnakedness there is little like it.' George Szirtes, Poetry Book Society, ' Between them these two authors have produced a remarkable hybrid sort of book, grown from the astonishingly rich soil of empathetic response to others, expressive of a range of human intimacies as well as a variety of angers at the way individuals - and society - too easily succumb to blinkered self-interest and self-immuration.' Martyn Crucefix, 'Marsman's poems crackle with dry insight, discerning yet anxious, flirting with that well-timed moment whenever the joke must end; her unflinching rhetoric neither sentimentalises death nor shies away from the accessible comforts of life. [...] The satirical wit and self-reflexivity in Marsman's persuasive poems jabs its fingers right into a certain faddish Western class-anxiety but the narrator never lets us forget. [...] Through letters written to Marsman, Collins tackles issues including shame and autonomy, as well as criticising the mechanical and patriarchal language of contemporary review culture. These cerebral disclosures become valuable spaces allowing us to encounter, through a one-sided conversation, a translation process no longer hidden; the amount of space given to Collins feels powerful, made more so by the absence of Marsman's (presumed, but never seen) responses. Although Collins writes about self-doubt and anxiety, there is an absolute certitude in her beliefs about how the field of translation can become more conscientious; through her work Collins has undoubtedly lifted herself from a "neutral entity" into an active participant in the most crucial dialogues surrounding Anglophone poetry translation today. [...] These are timely books adamant about candidly highlighting their own assemblies. [...] Instead they offer rewarding new ways of seeing translations as poetic sites of engagement with the subversive. The visibility of their translators places everybody involved on a level that resists traditional hierarchies, gender roles and capitalist understanding: they revolt against fluency and, in doing so, tap into a pocket of structural-societal questioning that refuses to be minimised or made invisible.' Jay G. Ying, The Poetry Society, "What this [essay] section adds to the book is something that is rarely present in translated works - the relationship between a writer and their translator... and the final book is ultimately a genuine collaboration." Platon Poulas, Pendora Magazine "The poems speak plainly and think plainly and that is their power as translated by Collins, but their effect is to offer a multi-dimensional set of reports, contemplations and intense but underplayed tensions.

Martyn Crucefix "Marsman's and Collins' collaboration packs a punch, and is mightily worthy of its Poetry Book Society Recommendation." Afric McGlinchey, Orbis "Lieke Marsman and Sophie Collins have written a work that embodies a deep affection and attentiveness to the lives they have led, and the world we live in is better for it." Kyle Lovell, Stride "Beyond the poems themselves - which are an achievement - and their sparkling social criticism, this is the book's greatest gift: a model of how to how to read, write, and speak with one another, despite our different languages, in the face of 'the loneliest experience there is'." Theophilus Kwek, Modern Poetry in Translation "This is a treasure of a book, uplifting and courageous, with many of the qualities of a trusted companion; honesty, humour and empathy." Jane Swanson, Dundee University Review of the Arts "The book is alive with conversation: between poet and translator; cancer patient and the non-cancer world and the well-self and the unwell self [...] bring to mind the internal conversations taking place in this intimate, surreal space. [...] Such conversations [between poet and translator-poet] which take place from poem to personal essay, to correspondence, deepen the reader's understanding and appreciation of the book." Josephine Corcoran, Under the Radar and Nine Arches Press, 'This is a treasure of a book, uplifting and courageous, with many of the qualities of a trusted companion; honesty, humour and empathy.' Jane Swanson, Dundee University Review of the Arts, 'Beyond the poems themselves - which are an achievement - and their sparkling social criticism, this is the book's greatest gift: a model of how to how to read, write, and speak with one another, despite our different languages, in the face of 'the loneliest experience there is'.'

Jay G. Ying, The Poetry Society, This is the work of two remarkable poets in collaboration and conversation. Lieke Marsman has evolved a stringent poetics of limit and capacity, of body and language and self. The scan is a metaphor for Marsman's particular quality of attention - committed and complete.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
