Portolan

Taking its name from an old map used in the early ages for navigating by ship, Portolan, by Daniela Danz, redirects our gaze from land to the seas, following the routes of container shipping that, in our globalized world, connect us all through tourism, warfare, commerce, and ecological disaster. Between these lines of distribution and destruction, a space for immersion and contemplation emerges. With this book, Monika Cassel gives us the first English translation of one of Germany's most inventive and celebrated poets.
