Beautifully translated from the Dutch by David Colmer, the IMPAC Award-winning translator of Gerbrand Bakker'€™s The Twin, Hugo Claus'€™s poems are remarkable for their dexterity, intensity of feeling, and acute intelligence. From the richly associative and referential '€œOostakker Poems'€ to the emotional and erotic outpouring of the '€œmad dog stanzas'€ in '€œMorning, You,'€ from his interpretations of Shakespeare'€™s sonnets to a modern adaptation of a Sanskrit masterpiece, this volume reveals the breadth and depth of Claus'€™s stunning output. Perhaps Belgium'€™s leading figure of postwar Dutch literature, Claus has long been associated with the avant-garde: these poems challenge conventional bourgeois mores, religious bigotry, and authoritarianism with visceral passion.
