YOU LIVE WITHOUT GOD FOR THERE IS NO GOD
THEY TOOK GOD FROM US GOD’S BLOOD IS FLOWING
YOU DON’T BELIEVE IN GOD BECAUSE OF GOD
FOR THERE IS NO GOD HAS ANYONE SEEN GOD?
PRAY TO OUR GOD THE TERRIBLE GOD
THEY MURDERED OUR GOD YOU DON’T BELIEVE IN GOD
BRING BACK OUR GOD! WE WANT OUR GOD!
Dear beloved humans
For eight years now I have been translating the poetry of Grzegorz Wróblewski, a Polish writer and visual artist based in Copenhagen. So far we have published two volumes: Kopenhaga (Zephyr Press, 2013) and Zero Visibility (Phoneme Media, 2017). We are now working on our third project, Dear Beloved Humans: New and Selected Poems. The title poem offers a good example of transposition.
