The Space of Time
Katarina Frostenson
Translated from Swedish by Bradley Harmon
Katarina Frostenson’s The Space of Time, translated by Bradley Harmon, is a Swedish poetry entry that seems built around the pressure between abstraction and breath. Frostenson’s work often feels interested in what language can do before it becomes explanation: a syllable, an interval, a pause, a fragment of perception that refuses to settle into prose. I would not describe this book as difficult in the punitive sense. It is difficult in the way weather is difficult, because one can feel it before one can name its direction. Published by Threadsuns, the book belongs on the shelf as an example of contemporary Swedish poetry that thinks through sound, silence, and the body’s relation to time.
