The legacy of cultural imperialism, the consequences of gender, and the marginalization of the conquered are themes that combine and comment, one on the other, in Rosmarie Waldrop's remarkable new work,  A Key into the Language of America. As "formally adventurous" (A.L. Nielson,  Washington Review) as ever, German-born Waldrop has based her new collection on Rhode Island founder Roger Williams's 1643 guide (of the same name) to Narragansett I...

Edmond Jabès (1912-1991) gilt als einer der wichtigsten französischen Schriftsteller des 20. Jahrhunderts. Geboren in Kairo, ließ er sich in Frankreich nieder, nachdem er mit anderen Juden während der Suez-Krise 1956 aus Ägypten vertrieben wurde. Rosmarie Waldrop ist seine wichtigste englische Übersetzerin. Im Laufe ihrer langen Zusammenarbeit und Freundschaft mit Jabès entwickelte Waldrop ein sehr nuanciertes Verständnis für sein Werk, das wi...

«Das Proben der Symptome» zeigt Rosmarie Waldrop unvergleichlich fein und konzentriert in treffsicheren Sa¿tzen. Ihre Kunst schenkt Motive und Wendungen, die das Herz wie mit dem Schraubenzieher umdrehen, zugleich vertraut und fremdelnd mit Welt wie mit Jenseits. «Alles Meta- physische, » schreibt sie, «lebt in der Grammatik», die Grammatik aber lebt im Ko¿rper, der Ko¿rper im Geist. Diese me¿nage a` trois portraitiert sie hier in der guise vo...

If memory serves, it was five years ago that yours began to refuse, " Rosmarie Waldrop writes to her husband in The Nick of Time. "Does it feel like crossing from an open field into the woods, the sunlight suddenly switched off? Or like a roof without edge or frame, pushed sideways in time?" Ten years in the making, Waldrop's phenomenally beautiful new collection explores the felt nature of existence as well as gravity and velocity, the second...

Hätten Josef und Frederika Seifert mal besser nicht geheiratet!? Der Ort ist Kitzingen am Main, es sind die späten Zwanziger. Josef ist Kriegsveteran und Lehrer, sehr ins Metaphysische entrückt, Frederika rasend frustrierte Sängerin, rasend frustrierte femme fatale, die, unfähig zu den spirituellen Sublimationen ihres Mannes, bereits wenige Wochen nach der Trauung eine Affäre mit seinem besten Freund beginnt. Ist dieser Seitensprung an allem s...

These two novels, long out of print, explore the themes of physical and emotional exile and "between-ness". Each is relevant, accessible, and written with a rich blend of poetic language and withering critique. In The Hanky of Pippen's Daughter, the narrator writes to her sister, trying to come to terms with her ancestry: What did her parents, two "ordinary people" in Nazi Germany, really stand for? How does their bad marriage resonate in the ...

Writing from America to her sister in Germany, the protagonist of this shattering first novel reconstructs the life of her parents--in the author's words, "just those 'ordinary people' who helped Hitler rise." Unflinching in her appraisal, she imagines how her father's latent anti-Semitism was triggered by his wife's affair with a Jew, who was later sent to a concentration camp. The tone darkens as the narrator realizes that she and her sister...

Just as the discovery of America in the fifteenth century forever altered the way Europeans viewed the world, so too did the theories of relativity and quantum physics radically alter the twentieth-century vision of the universe. Both encounters with otherness, on both a global and personal level, form the crux of Rosmarie Waldrop's extraordinary novel. The story roams the political worlds of old Mexico and Washington, D.C., and goes on to fus...

With the title of her latest collection, Love, Like Pronouns, Waldrop demonstrates with deft humor the relational aspects of any discourse.

Von der Goldmünze mit dem Fürstenkopf über das Papiergeld bis hin zum digitalen Geldstrom heutiger Bezahlsysteme verläuft die Entwicklungslinie einer zunehmenden Entmaterialisierung des gesellschaftlichen Lebens. Auch von der Erfindung der Null und der Entdeckung des Fluchtpunkts in der Malerei führen ähnliche Linien in unsere zusehends durch 0 und I bestimmte Gegenwart. Diese Tendenz zum Abstrakten wird in Rosmarie Waldrops Buch poetisch unte...

Rosmarie Waldrop says Gap Gardening "spans forty years of exploring the language I breathe and move in and that continues to condition me even while I try to contribute to it. It tracks my turn from verse to prose poems, to focusing on the sentence and its boundaries, my increasing reliance on collage and source texts as a way of engaging with other voices, of being in dialogue." Gap Gardening also traces Waldrop's growing sense of writing as ...

Rosmarie Waldrop's Curves to the Apple brings together three highly praised and influential titles: The Reproduction of Profiles, Lawn of Excluded Middle, and Reluctant Gravities. Though originally published separately, these prose poems have always been intended as a loose trilogy of thought and feelingor of thought manifested as feeling. The author comments: "Just as the title Curves to the Apple combines the organic and geometry (not to men...

Even in a state of geometrical grace we cannot see time as it is, only as it passes. So the river shows us while softly disfiguring our waterlogged bodies on the way to vast projects of war.-Rosmarie Waldrop Driven to Abstraction is Rosmarie Waldrop's sixth collection of poetry with New Directions. The first of its two sections, "Sway-Backed Powerlines, " consists of five sequences of prose poems whose subject matter ranges from voyages of di...
