Description

Sailor's Home is a miscellany (or anthology) of poems by six poets who came together for a private festival in London in October 2005.

The poets are Arjen Duinker (Netherlands), W.N. Herbert (UK), Uwe Kolbe (Germany), Peter Laugesen (Denmark), Karine Martel (France) and Yang Lian (China), whose idea the festival was.

Each poet takes the phrase "Sailor's Home" and builds a work from it in his or her own language.

The festival, featuring the six poets and invited guest, and the book as a record of the event, demonstrate how the poets interact acroos languages and cultures.

All the poems are presented in their original languages and in English translation.

While the festival was a one-off event, the poems remain, and the book stands testimony to the creative impulse amongst friends whose poetry can cross borders.

A fascinating document.
