Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. Poetry Book Society Summer Choice, Recommended Translation 2019. In The Cancer Journals Audre Lorde wrote, I do not wish my anger and pain and fear about cancer to fossilise into yet another silence, not to rob me of whatever strength can lie at the core of this experience, openly acknowledged and examined. Founded on this same principle, The Following Scan Will Last Five Minutes was written in the three months following Dutch writer Lieke Marsmans cancer diagnosis. A series of short poems anchored by an essay that speaks directly to Lordes journal entries and personal reflections on cancer, Marsman considers, among other things, the state of contemporary Dutch politics and via Susan Sontags Illness as Metaphor the rhetoric surrounding her disease. A work of poetry, social criticism and autobiography, The Following Scan is an honest and dryly comic account of a period in the authors life that elides pretension in search of autonomy and self-knowledge. Beautifully translated by the poet Sophie Collins, the book also includes a translators note in the form of a letter to her author and friend. Frank, conversational and suffused with a dry humour, this book is a record of poet and novelist Lieke Marsmans diagnosis, events and thoughts of having bone cancer. An energising mix of prose and lyric, the poems offer readings of both the writer and her environment. Translated by poet Sophie Collins. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
