The field, by Martin Glaz Serup, is a Danish poetry collection from Denmark, translated from Danish by Christopher Sand-Iversen, published by Les Figues Press in 2011. It is a Danish collection by Martin Glaz Serup, translated by Christopher Sand-Iversen, that gives open ground a conceptual and sensory charge. A field can be a place, a discipline, a battlefield, or a blankness, and the poems seem ready to move among those meanings. 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.

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.
