Writer in Residence: Jan Michalski Foundation

Le Voleur de Mots V by Jaume Plensa, in the courtyard of Jan Michalski Foundation
This month I am writer in residence at the Jan Michalski Foundation for Writing and Literature in Montricher, Switzerland. I am grateful for the opportunity to access the rich and remarkable mulitlingual library at the Foundation while working on my translations of Songs from Ammassalik, as well as putting the finishing touches to my memoir The Library of Ice.
