Silence Afterwards: Selected Poems of Rolf Jacobsen (The Lockert Library of Poetry in Translation) by Rolf Jacobsen
I greatly prefer the translations by Greenwald. The same poems in Night Open trans Olav Grinde do not seem to have the same impact
Boka tar utgangspunkt i etterlatte brev og dagboknotater. Den beskriver Jacobsens NS-medlemskap, dommen for landssvik, lengsler og refleksjoner under årene i soning. Boka gjengir en del av korrespondansen mellom Rolf Jacobsen og kona Petra, og gir slik et bilde av den kjærligheten som eksisterte mellom dem. Boka gir et innblikk i Jacobsens lange vei tilbake som anerkjent dikter, og brevene rammes inn av forfatterens barndomserindringer.
