Sissal Kampmann reading in Glasgow
An evening of poetry from the Faroes, Latvia and Scotland. Faroese poet Sissal Kampmann is reading on this international poetry exchange 17 Otober in Glasgow.
Darkening/Myrking by Sissal Kampmann is the first-ever bilingual Faroese–English publication of a work of Faroese literature. And who better to bring Faroese literature to the English speaking world than Sissal Kampmann, one of the pre-eminent contemporary Faroese poets, whose voice clothes universal human experience in distinctly Faroese imagery. In Darkening/Myrking the concept of home is at the heart of this tale of love and longing, finding a place in people and time in a world of contrasts – looming mountains and wide horizons, outfields and streetlights, island isolation and urban anonymity.
Darkening/Myrking was published in 2017 by Francis Boutle Publishers.
