Admired for a style that fuses simplicity with strangeness, Lindner builds his poems through a montage of descriptive images that, by fending off closure, generate extraordinary visionary power. Gathering together new work with a selection from his previous six collections, Words are the Worst offers a range of pleasures that have made him celebrated in his home country: an austere eloquence; a hard, unsparing precision; a restless and idiosyncratic eye. Best of all is how his intensely filmic observations transform haunted landscapes of windmills, birds, dogs and houseboats on canals into, as one critic put it, "Lindner-like" moments. Brilliantly translated by Francis R. Jones, with an introduction by Canadian poet David O'Meara, Words are the Worst introduces a leading Dutch voice to English readers."-- $c Provided by publisher. 546 $a Translated from the Dutch. 648 7 $a 1900-2099 $2 fast 650 0 $a Dutch poetry $y 20th century $v Translations into English. 650 0 $a Dutch poetry $y 21st century $v Translations into English. 650 7 $a Dutch poetry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00899880 655 2 $a Poetry $0 (DNLM)D055821 655 7 $a poetry. $2 aat $0 (CStmoGRI)aatgf300055931 655 7 $a Poetry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423828 655 7 $a Translations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423791 655 7 $a Poetry. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a PoeÌsie. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000476 776 08 $i Online version: $a Lindner, Erik, 1968- $s Poems.
