Poetry. Translated from the Danish by Gregory Pardlo. PENCIL OF RAYS AND SPIKE MACE is the first full-length collection in English by Niels Lyngso, one of the most original poets working in Denmark today. Translated by New York poet, scholar, and translator Gregory Pardlo, who worked closely with the author to capture not only the multiple nuances of each poem but to also transpose their deliberate physical and visual properties, PENCIL OF RAYS AND SPIKED MACE contains work from three of Lyngso's collections: Stof [Matter], Force Majeure [Force Majeure], and MORFEUS [MORPHEUS].
