Synopsis

Although many of the poems in this pamphlet focus on illness and mortality, and regret for an unlived life and a future the poet will be denied, there a beauty and a humour in this negativity. Skilfully translated by David Colmer, who worked closely with Wigman on Window-cleaner Sees Paintings, this pamphlet is a fitting tribute to a greatly-admired and much-missed poet.
