MOUNTAINS

Mountains is the latest wonderful collection of Seb Doubinsky's poems to be published in English. Those who have encountered this fiercely intelligent poet and novelist, in any of the languages in which he writes, will know what to expect here, but for newcomers to Doubinsky's work, this volume will be a revelation. Epigrammatic, witty, clever, acerbic and often with a serious point to make, this is poetry that is helping to redefine what poetry should be. Seb Doubinsky was born in Paris and spent part of his childhood in the USA, an experience that indelibly marked him for life. He currently lives in Denmark with his wife and children. He writes fluently in both French and English and has published more than a dozen novels that blur the boundaries between literary fiction, science fiction and crime fiction, and a volume of short stories. His poetry has been published around the world to great acclaim and has been collected in at least eleven stand-alone volumes. He edits the bilingual literary magazine Le Zaporogue, publishes books under his Les Editions du Zaporogue imprint and is at work on at least one new novel.
