Bücher von Michele Finck

Scansion of the Dark is Anthony Rudolf's translation of Michele Finck's sequence Balbuciendo, showcasing both the original French and the translated English. The poems are sombre and uncompromising, dwelling in permanent crisis, drawing inspiration from suffering and loss while yearning for transcendence. Finck, through Rudolf's exquisite translations, weighs up an answer to Rilke's pertinent question from Letters to a Young Poet: "Would you die if you were forbidden to write?"
