Czech poet Sylva Fischerová reads three poems from THE SWING IN THE MIDDLE OF CHAOS (Houpačka v hlubinách chaosu) – each poem first in English and then in Czech. The poems are 'Hell, The Soul, Banners', 'The Epigones of Time' and 'Time'. Neil Astley filmed Sylva Fischerová in Dublin on 27 March 2010 when she was visiting Dún Laoghaire to read in the DLR Poetry Now Festival. The translations (by Stuart Friebert & the author) are from her book The Swing in the Middle of Chaos: Selected Poems (Bloodaxe Books, 2010), and this film is posted by permission of the author, translators and publishers.
