Christine Marendon’s enigmatic, meditative poems, translated here from the German and collected for the first time, draw on dreams, fairy tales and childhood memories to tap into a world beyond conscious reach.\u003cbr\u003e\n               Marendon’s poems do not present ideas so much as embody states of mind. Something is realised \u003cem\u003ethrough \u003c\/em\u003ethe poem, rather than said within it. Here, the voice is more important than the particularities of what is said – language, not words.\u003cbr\u003e\n               For the translator, \u003cem\u003eHeroines from Abroad\u003c\/em\u003e is the fruit of seven years’ steady work. The poems’ clarity and subtle force, the ‘crystalline, precise quality of their lyricism’ (Sasha Dugdale), are testament to that humble, unhurried collaboration in words.","brand":"Carcanet Press Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32092522348627,"sku":"","price":18.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781784106300_a26f0f7f-66dc-4130-bb68-a897844316c8.jpg?v=1778782528","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/heroines-from-abroad","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
