Publisher Marketing: “this is a shape I cannot remain in.” With its mutant orbs of grief and technoscientific phenomena, Ursula Andkjær Olsen’s OUTGOING VESSEL is the electrifying sequel to Katrine Øgaard Jensen’s award-winning translation of THIRD MILLENNIUM HEART. The book-length mirror poem titled Udgående fartøj (OUTGOING VESSEL) received the Danish Critics Prize for Literature in 2015. Now, for the first time in English, a radically new and resilient voice emerges—an OUTGOING VESSEL—from an all-consuming darkness: “INSIDE ME THERE IS A NONDEGRADABLE ORB / MY OWN PLANET.”
