Metropoetica

More about the book

A unique collaboration from some of Europe’s most exciting contemporary female voices, this work is the result of writing and walking in different cities across Europe in response to the questions What does writing poetry have in common with walking in the city? In translating poetry, what lost paths, dark alleys, and chance connections are encountered? and How are the maps by which cities are known allow for new poetry to be discovered? Each of these lyrical pieces, which deftly explain the relationships between place and language, provide new and refreshing ways for readers to see European cities.
