'Bold Ventures resembles a pop version of Iain Sinclair's psychogeography or Out of Sheer Rage, Geoff Dyer's anti-biography of DH Lawrence' Olivia Laing, GUARDIAN'A marvel: a monument to human beings continuing to reach for the skies, even after their plans dissolve in dust' NEW YORK TIMESIn thirteen chapters, Belgian poet Charlotte Van den Broeck goes in search of buildings that were fatal for their architects - architects who either killed themselves or are rumoured to have done so. They range across time and space from a church with a twisted spire built in seventeenth-century France to a theatre that collapsed mid-performance in 1920s Washington, DC., and an eerily sinking swimming pool in her hometown of Turnhout.Drawing on a vast range of material, from Hegel and Charles Darwin to art history, stories from her own life and popular culture, patterns gradually come into focus, as Van den Broeck asks: what is that strange life-or-death connection between a creation and its creator?Threaded through each story, and in prose of great essayistic subtlety, Van den Broeck meditates on the question of suicide - what Albert Camus called the 'one truly serious philosophical problem' - in relation to creativity and public disgrace. The result is a profoundly idiosyncratic book, breaking new ground in literary non-fiction, as well as providing solace and consolation - and a note of caution - to anyone who has ever risked their hand at a creative act.'What a sensible, intelligent and beautiful book' Stefan Hertmans, author of War and Turpentine

After first making her mark as a compelling performer, Belgian poet Charlotte Van den Broeck was acclaimed as one of Europe’s most innovative and original new voices in poetry following the publication of her first collection Chameleon in 2015. Her first English translation combines her debut volume with her second book Nachtroer (2017), its untranslatable title the name of all-night shop in Antwerp where she lives. Chameleon is a set of apparently naïve but knowingly ironic, playful and subversive poems which trace a girl’s search for a woman’s identity, a coming-of-age exploration of body and language drawing on memories, shapes and landscapes. In Nachtroer her poems take a nighttime journey through heartbreak, insomnia and the hectic flow of daily life, driven by a desire for disappearance, displacement and dissolution. Chameleon ends with taking to the ocean. Nachtroer’s last poem is about building a boat for such a voyage. Chameleon | Nachtroer sets the two books afloat in English.

After first making her mark as a compelling performer, Belgian poet Charlotte Van den Broeck was acclaimed as one of Europe’s most innovative and original new voices in poetry. Her first two collections, Chameleon and Nachtroer, were published together in David Colmer’s English translation by Bloodaxe in 2020.Whereas those earlier books often return to childhood and youth in urban and European landscapes, the key sequence of The Inside of a Stone concentrates on desert landscapes and womanhood – and the emotional resonance between the two – while reconceptualising their metaphorical relationship. With close observation and striking images she engages with the arid, eroded landscape. In other poems she considers sexual violence while watching a pair of mating turtles, imagines an alternative emotional life for Ilsebill, the fisherman’s wife from the Grimm fairytale, and explores medieval poet Hildegard of Bingen’s magical healing.From the reviews in Belgium and The Netherlands of The Inside of a Stone:‘In lines that are graceful yet urgent, Charlotte Van den Broeck reveals the wounds in landscapes, animals and people, women.’ – Trouw‘Charlotte Van den Broeck captures intense experiences in living language.’ – Trouw‘Charlotte Van den Broeck dismantles herself and the world.’ – Volkskrant‘With this collection, Charlotte Van den Broeck shows the limitations of the female image and breaks through them with her poems.’ – NRC

Der gefeierte Bestseller über die Kühnheit und das Scheitern, über das Leben und die Kunst, nicht nur für Architekturfans.Eine sündhaft teure Schwimmhalle versinkt im morastigen Grund. Ein Kirchturm beugt sich nach Fertigstellung "wie ein geknickter Phallus". Vier Toiletten werden geplant - für 2400 Soldaten.13 Architekten misslingt ihr Bauwerk. Alle 13 Architekten begehen Suizid, weil sie das Scheitern nicht ertragen.Die Lyrikerin Charlotte van den Broeck besucht diese 13 zeitgenössischen wie einige Jahrhunderte alten Gebäude, recherchiert, einer investigativen Journalistin gleich, Leben und Wirken der Architekten, die finanziellen und die gesellschaftshistorischen Umstände, unter denen die Projekte entstanden sind.Sie trifft auf skurrile Menschen und sie verbindet das Gesehene mit eigenen Erfahrungen, Gefühlen, Erinnerungen. Dabei steht eine Frage der gefeierten flämischen Autorin im Zentrum: Welcher Wagemut, welche Leidenschaft ist nötig und welche Opfer muss man bringen, um etwas zu schaffen - auch und gerade wenn das Gelingen ungewiss ist? Sollten wir nicht alle mehr scheitern dürfen?Unterhaltsam, elegant, berührend, neugierig, sinnlich – so vielfältig ist der Grenzgänger aus Autobiografie, Geschichtsschreibung, Journalismus, Tagebuch, Essaysammlung. Und so demonstriert auch die Autorin die Lust am Wagnis, die echte Kunst erst möglich macht.Zu den bekannten Bauwerken in "Wagnisse" gehören die Staatsoper in Wien, San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane in Rom ("San Carlino") von Franceso Borromini und die Kelvingrove Art Gallery in Glasgow.

Camaleón nos obliga en cada poema a recordar acontecimientos que nos descubrieron el mundo. Detrás de lo que nos contaban estaba la realidad y una pequeña imagen la desvelaba. Así hemos ido construyendo nuestra identidad, a través de momentos de iluminación. Camaleón nos permite recrear esas experiencias. Charlotte Van den Broeck (Bélgica, 1991) Es una reconocida performer con numerosos vídeos en you tube y participa en los principales festivales de poesía europeos. Con Camaleón debutó de forma espectacular y con Nachtroer se ha afianzado como poeta.

Oscilando con elegancia entre la reflexión ensayística y la descripción narrativa de su propio proceso de crecimiento personal, Charlotte Van den Broeck presenta trece miniaturas sobre la tragedia personal y profesional de diversos arquitectos que, incapaces de confrontar su propio fracaso, tomaron la radical decisión de quitarse la vida. Con un lenguaje poético, descarnado y sincero, Van den Broeck se adentra en los vericuetos de la mente y nos propone un viaje a los desafíos de la creación a través de piscinas, teatros, bibliotecas, museos, iglesias, cuarteles, oficinas de correos, villas, campos de golf y jardines de esculturas de Europa y Estados Unidos. Una indagación fascinante y turbadora del difícil y peligroso equilibrio entre el afán de perfección y la cordura.«Cabe preguntarse qué busca la autora con esa recolección de fracasos. Porque a Van den Broeck no le interesa la muerte en sí, sino las fuerzas que conducen a alguien a quitarse la vida. Le interesan también los peligros y riesgos que entraña el camino del arte, como si necesitara listarlos para hacerlos visibles y, armada de señales y precauciones, pudiera librarse de extravíos y pérdidas».Laura Ferrero, El País Babelia«En estas páginas hay una mezcla entre autobiografía y erudición histórica. La autora se ve imbuida en una pesquisa que desarrolla en paralelo a su periplo sentimental. Lo peculiar de la premisa da lugar a un artefacto híbrido ante el que no cabe sino descubrirse».Inmaculada Maluenda y Enrique Encabo, El Cultural«Saltos mortales es un libro trufado de referencias culturales, atento a los debates sociales y sazonado con un humor ácido».Llàtzer Moix, La Vanguardia«Charlotte Van den Broeck es buenísima, hay que leerla. Léala aunque no le interese nada la arquitectura. Disfrazado de ensayo, este libro deja ver las líneas maestras de la novela aún por escribir de los jóvenes profesionales nacidos entre los 80 y los 90. Emociona la sensibilidad con que la autora ha unido la historia de estos diseños trágicos y estas vidas desesperadas al relato de su propia experiencia como escritora y a su lucha diaria con la página en blanco».César de Bordons, Diario de Sevilla«Esta es una propuesta muy original, un ensayo que reflexiona sobre la creación y el arte, y cómo las exigencias en ocasiones suponen una dura prueba para los que se dedican a profesiones como esta».La Razón«A medio camino entre el ensayo de investigación y el libro de viajes, «Saltos mortales» ofrece una valiosísima reflexión sobre las nociones de éxito y fracaso, al mismo tiempo que invita a reflexionar sobre los criterios artísticos y sobre la funcionalidad de la arquitectura».Darío Luque, Anika entre libros«Basta con leer dos frases de Saltos mortales para darse cuenta de que estamos ante el texto de alguien que comprende de verdad el arte de la escritura».Ilja Leonard Pfeijffer
