Bøker av Selima Hill

Hot on the heels of her previous collection Men Who Feed Pigeons, Selima Hill's Women in Comfortable Shoes is the 21st book of poetry from "the UK's Emily Dickinson". This collection presents eleven contrasting but well-fitting sequences of short poems relating to women, including: Fishface, in which a disobedient young girl is sent to a Catholic convent school to give her mother a break; Fridge, in which trucks, geese and fridges speak of death, grief and absence; and Girls without Hamsters, which deals with an older woman's obsession with a spider-legged young man.Writing with her trademark wit and originality, Selima Hill looks closely at the complications and contradictions that define our lives and relationships.

Selima Hill ble født i London i 1945.I en årrekke skrev hun bare for notatboken sin uten å ville dele det hun skrev med noen. Hun skilte skarpt mellom sin indre "skriveverden" og det som skjedde henne ute i verden.Først etter at hun var godt voksen, begynte hun å sende enkeltdikt inn til aviser og tidsskrift, og en dag fikk hun telefon fra en forlagsredaktør og tilbud om utgivelse. Men overgangen fra å betro seg til notatboken og skulle åpne seg for leseren, var smertefull og komplisert.Til sammen har Selima Hill gitt ut åtte diktsamlinger. Den foreløpige siste samlingen kom i 2002 og har tittelen Portrait of My Lover as a Horse. Hanne Bramness norske gjendiktning er hentet fra samlingene Violet (1997) og Bunny (2001).]]>
