In other poems she considers sexual violence while watching a pair of mating turtles, imagines an alternative emotional life for Ilsebill, the fisherman's wife from the Grimm fairytale, and explores medieval poet Hildegard of Bingen's magical healing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter first making her mark as a compelling performer, Belgian poet Charlotte Van den Broeck was acclaimed as one of Europe's most innovative and original new voices in poetry. Her first two collections, \u003cem\u003eChameleon\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eNachtroer\u003c\/em\u003e, were published together in David Colmer's English translation by Bloodaxe in 2020. \u003cem\u003eThe Inside of a Stone \u003c\/em\u003emarks a departure from the themes of those earlier books, which often return to childhood and youth in urban and European landscapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCharlotte Van den Broeck\u003c\/strong\u003e was born in Turnhout, Belgium, in 1991.
