Heroines from Abroad introduces a vibrant new voice to the English language.
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.
Marendon's poems do not present ideas so much as embody states of mind.
Something is realised through the poem, rather than said within it. Here, the
voice is more important than the particularities of what is said - language, not
words.
For the translator, Heroines from Abroad 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.
