Marina Skalova

Marina Skalova is a writer and literary translator from Russia and Germany. She is the author of six books, published by Héros-Limite, les Lisières, l'Arche and le Seuil, which fall somewhere between poetry, theater and essays. Her work has been translated in several countries, notably South America, and performed on various European stages. Her next book, Le corps cille, a trilingual book of poetry, will be published by Héros-Limite in 2025. For her, literary translation is a physical, organic practice. In poetry, she has translated, prefaced and composed the anthology Tu es l'avenir by Galina Rymbu (Vanloo, 2023), Verdicts by Lida Youssoupova for éditions zoème (2023) and Parti sans laisser d'adresse by Levin Westermann for Cheyne (2025).
