The Nightingale Question

In 2002, poet Tessa Ransford and artist Joyce Gunn-Cairns set off from Edinburgh, with the aid of a travel grant from the Scottish Arts Council, to visit Leipzig. Tessa investigated the poetry scene, and translated five of the poets whose work she admired, while Joyce drew portraits of them and took photographs. The poets featured here are Wulf Kirsten, Thomas Rosenlocher, Elmar Schenkel, Andreas Reimann, Uta Mauersberger, and Tessa herself. An anthology with a difference.
