Niels Lyngso: XXXV

May 20, 2011 by PBQ

And I think of my old life One after one all the life before the era of us the grinding voices fall silent it seems so foreign and finally I am familiar so close and remote master of my own house here where like the house across the street no one is home empty and […]

Niels Lyngso: XXVI

May 20, 2011 by PBQ

Greg Pardlo: Translating Niels Lyngsø’s    “Constellation” Poems

May 20, 2011 by PBQ
