Hungerpots : Eyewear Publishing : 9781908998804 : 1908998806 : 01 Oct 2015 : Poetry. Translated from the Dutch by Jacquelyn Pope. The first major collection of Hester Knibbe's work to be published in English, HUNGERPOTS brings together a selection of poems displaying the range and skill of one of the most important Dutch poets writing today. Heralded by critics and the recipient of major European literary awards, Knibbe, in language that is both straightforward and subversive, casts and recasts themes of life, loss, and longing. The work in this selection traces the career of a poet now in full flight and at the apogee of her career. "This book is a real pleasure. Knibbe's voice can be harrowingly clear and dreamily disorienting, often in the same poem?but it's a fortifying and ennobling one nonetheless. Jacquelyn Pope has certainly come up with a memorable and sonically autonomous voice. I read the book with a sense of genuine excitement and discovery and will certainly return to it.
