Details
By Heart - Uit Het Hoofd is a bilingual collection of poetry by significant poets from Britain and the Netherlands.
Translating poetry is an art. Sometimes it is not just language but also culture which must be translated, as demonstrated by this title. By Heart means the same as the dutch Uit Het Hoofd: "By Head".
In this collection the six poets have collaborated on translations of material reflecting their own concerns, which range from Daljit Nagra's experience of being British/Asian; the Dutch/Moroccan Mustafa Stitou's contemporary political interests; Sarah Corbett's specifically female perspective; Maria Barnas' vivid imagery; while Anthony Dunn and Jan-Willem Anker draw on that which is outside the everyday.
