The Sunday Times Poetry Book of the Year 2017 Velkom to Inklandt is
a collection of poems in which Sophie Herxheimer brings to life the
voice of her German Jewish Grent Muzzer Liesel, whose somewhat
abrasive but eminently humane perspektiff she's been unable to
forget. Liesel came to live in Britain in 1938, with her young
family. Her husband was one of many scientists saved by the
speedily set up Council for Academic Refugees. Playing on the
difficulties of the English lenkvitch and vokebulerry, the poems
tell of an immigrant's attempts to fit in and make her home in a
new country at war with her own. This fascinating sequence
addresses alienation, survival, friendship, marriage, motherhood
and loss against a backdrop of a London which has almost
disappeared but at the same time remains straynchly familiar.
