Synopsis

For this book I have chosen poems that travel easily. Having lived all over the place and being married to a girl from New York City, my poems inevitably ponder on questions of identity, home, language etc. I try to do the police in different voices , which is why half of this book is taken up by the voice of an imaginary public woman , an actress who wants to share her rather tumultuous twentieth-century life with us. I am very indebted to the translator, David Colmer, with whom I have collaborated for almost twenty years.
