At the Edge of Night

At the Edge of Night, a selection from four recent collections by Anise Koltz, Luxembourg's best-known poet, brings the work of this daring and audacious poet to the attention of the English-speaking literary world for the first time. Written in Koltz's prolific seventh decade, these brief poems - with their short, unpunctuated lines, clearly separated stanzas and powerful, direct language - are both personal and universal. "This poetry feels utterly European? it speaks to the reader directly, jumping cultural barriers." Anne-Marie Glasheen, translator "Her austerity is in its way beguiling and inviting." David Morley, Poetry Review
