Twenty Poems

Kathrin Schmidt is a highly-respected poet in her native Germany but until now unknown in the UK. Schmidt is a staunch feminist, and her poetry deals with globalisation and migration seen through the lens of politics. Sue Vickerman’s skilful translation and commentary do justice to Schmidt’s distinctive poetic style.

This bilingual (German / English) chapbook of 20 poems makes for an exciting introduction to Kathrin Schmidt's work. Thanks to Sue Vickerman's daring translations, we are able to appreciate Schmidt's irrepressible poetic style as she ranges across the themes of gender, identity, the body, eroticism, her own personal history and language itself.
