A different practice, by Fredrik Nyberg and translated from Swedish by Jennifer Hayashida, gives English-language readers Fredrik Nyberg’s different practice, a Swedish book that sounds interested in method, habit, experiment, and the poem as an altered way of doing. Published by Ugly Duckling Presse, it should be approached first as a book of encounter rather than as a biographical assignment. The useful question is not what the poems are supposed to mean in a single solved sentence, but what kind of attention they ask the reader to practice. For this library, the entry matters because it keeps Sweden in the translated poetry conversation as a living source of image, pressure, and voice.

If you’d like to see international poetry continue and gain traction, consider requesting this work from your local library, or purchasing it from places like Open Books (a poetry only bookstore), Asterism Books (an independent press distributor), or bookshop.org to connect you with your local bookstores.
