Better known in the Anglophone world as a novelist ( War and Turpentine, The Ascent, The Convert
), Stefan Hertmans is also an essayist, a dramatist, and, from the very beginning, a poet. Initially influenced by the concise art of the German poet, Paul Celan, Hertmans' work later opened up, using longer forms. This selected edition represents the full range of his work.
