My new translation of a long(ish) Jürgen Becker poem (the first ever into English) has just been posted on the US site, Asymptote. Do click the link above and have a look at it. You can also hear an audio recording of the opening passages of the poem read in German (thank you, old friend, Tim Turner). Becker’s work is really very unusual – and hardly known at all in translation. I have been working on a particular collection of his poems, published originally in 1993 – Foxtrot at the Erfurt Stadium. Asymptote is a marvellous site with a whole range of creative work, so once you are there, stay and have a look around.
