Mediterranean Poetry, edited by Anders Dahlgren.
No-one‘s songs. Odyscenes
To read: the Odyssey! To listen, closely: to all the voices behind. Behind what
is written and what has been told. Voices besides. Voices above and below.
Listen to them.
Who wants to tell their own story, again and again: Penelope, Eurykleia,
Kalypso, Telemach, Eumaios. Ships sneak along coasts, one Polyphem is
counting sheep, and one Nobody gets away with it. One Phoenician woman
contemplates her revenge and perishes in the attempt, but one child is
kidnapped. And what do sirens dream about?
A collection of poems, fotovisualisations and prose scenes based on the
Odyssey, currently completed in German.
See ‘Projekte‘ in German for more.
Flotsam. Poems in times of wandering
“Migration is not a crime”.
No crime. Generation after generation
over lands and lands and through
continent after continent. Such as birds,
fish, clouds:
who could shut away the wind?
“Migration / is not a crime” is written
on a wall in the migration museum of
Ballinstadt in Hamburg, and has been
the starting-point for a series of poems
on subjects, such as: flight, displace-
ment, being home or being far from
home, alien, strange, foreign.
Touching family tales and heritages.
There is an old suitcase down in the
cellar, travelled to the United States
and back again. Is it legitimate to
empathize with all that going away
going on, all that arriving, and moving
on, and once again arriving? Legitimate
to think oneself into old and new
worlds while still at home? But then:
what is this anyway—home?
And where should it be: home?
Poems in German, and English.
