Songs from Ort is inspired by the collaborative experiments in poetic “erasure” of husband-and-wife poets Christian Hawkey (American) and Uljana Wolf (German). Their recent book, Sonne from ort, is (according to the dust jacket) “a bi-lingual collaborative erasure of Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s ‘Sonnets from the Portuguese’ and their en face 1907 German translations by Rainer Maria Rilke… These love poems to Robert Browning were written between 1845 and 1846 and published in 1850. The title purposefully suggested they were translations from the Portuguese in order to veil their personal content.”Researcher for this page: Joost van der Linden [Guest Editor]
