Marita Thomsen is from the Faroes, where the wind often roars, and now lives in Keele, where it whispers. Her love of languages and stories has crystallised into English translations of Faroese authors, while her work as a conference interpreter satisfies her curiosity and wanderlust.
The first-ever bilingual Faroese–English publication of a work of Faroese literature. In the Faroese ballad tradition of wandering narratives, award-winning Faroese author Sissal Kampmann tells stories distilled into poetry.
