Synopsis

YOU CAN HAVE IT ALL, Kathleen Heil's debut poetry collection, traverses Berlin, London, New York, New Orleans, and Madrid. With guest appearances from the work of Andy Warhol, Trajal Harrell, John Berger, Marina Abramovic , and Gilda Radner, among others, Heil examines, with wry humour, life, love, violence, art, and cows under late capitalism. Giorgio Agamben once said all poems are either elegies or hymns. Heil's work sings between these two registers: take it, baby.

Praise for Kathleen's literary translations: "Heil's translations are themselves works of the highest literary refinement and ingenuity." Wayne Kostenbaum -------- "What an ingenious way of translating ... a true delight ... Such a gift proves true throughout this all-in-all inventive rendering." Mary Ann Caws --------- "Heil translates ... with a sensitivity to the differences between the way the two languages convey distinctions of meaning." -------- Daniel Barbiero, Arteidolia -------- "Heil has deftly captured the nimble verve ... of the originals." Sylee Gore, Harriet Books
