What does it feel like to travel down a ski jump hill at more than 60mph before leaping into the air over Winter Olympic crowds? In a new book of poems translated by Harry Man, Endre Ruset documents the highs and lows of one of ski jumpings most celebrated (and oldest-still competing) athletes, Noriaki Kasai. Using a mixture of haiku and haiku-esque three line poems that reflect the three stages of a ski jump, the in-run, the "hop" and the landing, travelling in from his home town of Molde in Norway, here to Edinburgh, Endre Ruset takes readers on a a playful and meditative journey through the one of the most admired and dangerous winter sports. Featuring a foreword by bestselling crime writer Jo Nesbø.
