Translation Tuesday: Two Poems by V\u00e9ronique Bergen<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our first Translation Tuesday feature for the new year, revel in two outrightly explosive and psychedelic poems by the Belgian poet, novelist, and philosopher V\u00e9ronique Bergen. \u201cI petal blue,\u201d is how Bergen begins one of these poems and it is in this frenzied flowering of one\u2019s subjectivity that we meet the speaker in their radiant and radical metamorphosis. Following her own warped and dynamic syntax, Bergen\u2019s poems lay bare an \u201corgy of guns\u201d: she construes a poetic world that riots our senses and, in her turbulent re-contextualisation of the technologies that engender this anarchy, refracts a history of global violence. Always, they combust with a frank and freakish sexuality. Translated by our very own Editor-at-Large for Romania and Moldova, MARGENTO brings to our readers the spectrum of technicolour brilliance and virtuosic world-building that is Bergen\u2019s verse. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
