With close observation and striking images, she engages with the arid, eroded landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter 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.
