Lambert Schlechter has written hundreds of poems, even thousands. Yet as a writer, he goes on experimenting with new ideas and new forms all the time, and even with new languages. So far Schlechter’s work has been translated into Armenian, Bulgarian, Italian and Bosnian. Translations in Spanish and Arabic are planned for 2018. "one day I will write a poem" is the first English translation, long overdue, since Schlechter, one of the most prolific and renowned Luxembourgish poets, has a deep, longstanding affinity with English and American poetry.
"one day I will write a poem" is divided into nine parts, beautifully illustrated with photoworks by Lysiane Schlechter. It is available online (www.blackfountain.lu) or in bookshops as of 29 March 2018. The 212-page publication costs €22.
