RC ---------- Forwarded message ---------- First call for Rob Mackenzie / Anselm Hollo Tue 20 10 98 at 8 pm Upstairs, The Three Cups, Sandland Street, London WC1 [snip] Anselm Hollo is Finnish, but has spent much of his life abroad, in Germany, Austria, UK and then for many years in USA. He is currently based in France. He lived in London for a number of years, years ago, and I have translations and poems from that period - during which he translated Allen Ginsberg's Howl into Finnish - and I still read them. WF recently announced that it will be publishing a new booklet by Hollo on the night of the reading. The magazine Sub Voicive Poetry 1998 # 18, to be published on the night, includes a small selection, made by Hollo himself, of poems from 30+ years. Hollo has published more than 35 books and chapbooks of poetry, including West is Left on the Map (Dead Metaphor Press, 1993); Corvus (Coffee House Press, 1995); AHOE (Erie CO: Smokeproof Press, 1997) He has translated into English many contemporary Finnish poets, among them Paavo Haavikko (Selected Poems 1949 - 1988, Carcanet, 1991) and Pentti Saarikoski (Trilogy: the last three books, Sun & Moon, 1998), as well as fiction, plays, and poetry from the German, French, Swedish, Russian and Finnish. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
