Reading Ventrakl by Christian Hawkey. Amazing. Ugly Duckling Presse, always awesome. Hawkey "translates" Georg Trakl's work in numerous ways, writing his life from photograph, splicing poems, interjecting poems, connecting with the spirit of Trakl through writing. It's a haunting and incredible book that proves storytelling can be made of many mediums.
