Synopsis
"The whole object of travel is not to set foot on a foreign land," wrote G.K. Chesterton, "it is at last to set foot on one’s own country as a foreign land." Such is the effect, too, of reading The Other Side of Landscape. Working simultaneously under the influence of foreign poetries and thousand-year-old native traditions, this inspired collection explores the poets’ "Electrical I"—as editors Stochholm and Sumari—that gives the reader a sense of wonder for the familiar, an "electrical eye."
The Other Side of Landscape is a collection of seventeen Nordic poets as influenced by modern and post-modern techniques as by pan-Scandinavian mythology. It represents the largest and most comprehensive collection of modern Nordic poets ever for an American audience.

Overlooked in the United States, a wide array of Nordic poets is given its due time in the spotlight, thanks to this collection from widely published authors/translators Sumari and Stochholm. An essential anthology for any serious student of international poetry, and for any practicing American writer: there is much to learn from our overseas friends.
