From @AviyaKushner’s WOLF LAMB BOMB:

"Are there Copper Pipes in Heaven" (Operating System/Unsilenced Texts, 2020) is a family portrait of abuse, addiction, and mental illness. This autobiographical work is the first book of confessional poetry in Faroese literature.

[#TranslationMonth @TranslateMonth]

A"re there Copper Pipes in Heaven" (Operating System/Unsilenced Texts, 2020) is the first complete book of poetry translated from Faroese and published in English—and we’re happy to feature Ottarsdóttir’s poignant poetry in premiere at NTM.
