Lithner: Selected & Translated Poems - Volume II

This second volume of “Lithner: Selected & Translated Poems” arrives not as a conclusion, nor a continuation alone, but as a descent into deeper poetic strata—layers buried, perhaps, even from the poet’s own sight until these later years. These are some of the poems written and published between 2017-2024. Spanning the fervent decade since the previous volume, “Ars Machina” (2021) through to “Of Gods & Masters” (2024), these selected works trace the boundary between our invented gods, beliefs, our creations and the world in the hands of automation, the lived and the invented, and the human and the divine. Some unpublished poems is also for the first time available in this anthology.
