Witch is a damning parable that chimes with the terror and anxieties of our own haunted age.

Wigmans second collection won him the Netherlands coveted Jan Campert prize.Menno Wigmans first full collection to be published in the UK in David Colmers outstanding translation introduces English-language readers to a selection of the work of one of the Netherlands leading poets.

As Francis Jones says at the conclusion of his introduction to this book: "Wigmans poetry is a powerful brew in Dutch. Remixed in Colmers English, its heady stuff too."
