Little Estuaries (häftad, eng)

In Little Estuaries, Daniel Kramb goes in search for what’s fleeting between the shores.

Amid a constantly shifting sense of what can be seen, sensed, experienced, the poet probes the estuary as sphere: an opening up, a possibility.

Whittled down, like sea to stream, his poems emerge, in their own distinct form, estuary-shaped on the page.

Intricate, at times playful, always open, these unassuming, small pieces reach beyond the confines, always returning to what’s undeniable, as body.

Silt-smeared and salty, this is poetry not on landscape, but through it: formed not by what exists, but from what’s washed up within.

Praise for Little Estuaries:

“Gorgeous—I’ve been sipping it in small sittings like a very fine wine.” Max Porter

“Gloriously spare and strange and compendious and tender, like a hymn.” Sara Baume

“I loved the tender, probing sparseness of this book.” Victoria Adukwei Bulley, author of Quiet

“This is such a haunting book of poems from Daniel Kramb—compressed little pieces of verse on life, walking and the margins of land and sea.

It really is so impressive.” Andrew Holgate, former literary editor of The Sunday Times

“What emerges, through and around these gentle and effective poems is a different sense of the estuary, a place of quiet and shifting landscapes, from the experience of walking out, then letting go.” Rachel Lichtenstein, author of Estuary
