Meet the EUOIA collaborators: Frances Kruk

With Frances Kruk I intended to create the German poems of Karla Schaffer for Twitters for a Lark: Poetry of the European Union of Imaginary Authors. Unfortunately Frances has been ill and convalescing for most of the time the book was being assembled. We decided to leave our page blank. This means we could re-visit it. BUT it means that we’ve also offered this enormous hole at the centre of Europe, which (I suspect) is not the way Germans want to see themselves. At least in our little universe, they are stuck with it!

Frances Kruk is a Polish-Canadian poet and artist whose work has appeared in various international media. Her most recent publication is lo-fi frags in-progress (Veer Books: 2015). This is an excellent book, which I first read when  it was part of her PhD: get it.

Read more about the European Union of Imaginary Authors here and here. 

More on Twitters for a Lark here and here. See also A Translated Man ( an early account here; the book is also available from Shearsman here.)

Frances wrote recently to say she liked the colouful cover. So here it is again, big!

All the collaborators are introduced at links available here.
