GUERRILLA POETRY
Ulrike Almut Sandig’s translator Karen Leeder described Sandig as ‘one of the most exciting voices of her generation’, placing her somewhere between the oblique otherworldliness of Alice Oswald and the energy of Kate Tempest. Thick of It is Sandig’s first volume to appear in English. Here she and her translator combine to perform the German poet’s mesmerising work. Introduced by Helen Mort.
Karen Leeder & Ulrike Almut Sandig
