Modern and Contemporary Swiss Poetry is an anthology of Swiss poetry, translated by Luzius Keller, Various, published by Swiss Literature in 2012. It is an anthology of Swiss poetry that gathers a multilingual literary landscape into English. As an anthology, its value lies in refusing the idea of Swiss poetry as singular, giving readers a layered terrain of languages, regions, and formal temperaments. I would not approach it as a book that needs to be solved before it can be felt. Start with the pressure of the title, the texture of the translated line, and the feeling of a voice making room for itself in English. For this library, the book matters as more than a record of Switzerland; it is an invitation to let poetry remain particular, difficult, and alive without asking it to behave like explanation.

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.
