Ida Börjel’s Miximum Ca’ Canny the Sabotage Manuals, translated by Jennifer Hayashida, belongs on the shelf as more than a data point from Sweden. It carries Ida Börjel’s sabotage-manual title, a Swedish work of procedural mischief, political intelligence, and deliberately unstable instruction. The best entries in a translated poetry library do not merely point to a country, language, or press; they give a reader a reason to linger with the strangeness of another voice. This is the kind of book I would describe through atmosphere first and certainty second. Let the work be partial, difficult, plainspoken, excessive, or mysterious on its own terms before turning it into a lesson.

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.
