Farming Dreams, by Knud Sorensen, Knud Sørensen, is a Danish poetry collection from Denmark, translated from Danish by Michael Goldman, published by Spuyten Duyvil Publishing in 2016. It is a Danish collection by Knud Sørensen, translated by Michael Goldman, that joins rural labor to inward vision. The title makes dreaming feel practical and farming feel imaginative, a useful crossing for poems attentive to land, work, time, and weather. I would not approach it as a book that needs to be solved before it can begin working. Start with the title, the pressure of the translated line, and the feeling of a voice making room for itself in English. The value here is not just metadata or representation. It is the chance to let a particular book create its own weather, its own difficulty, and its own way of asking the reader to listen.
