Swimming Pool by Ágnes Lehóczky Polly Atkin Paula Meehan’s extraordinary new collectionHere the text or the poem is a swimming pool, a pool in which language or thought as body glide through cultural and or phenomenological spaces; fluid places for being, thinking or even swimming in the world. It is polyglot within English, let alone in relation to all the other tongues that are almost audible and to the maps of Europe that move to and fro somewhere beneath the text.
