Dual-language edition of a collection of poems from one of Germany's most influential literary and editorial figures.

What has been overlooked for too many years now is an achievement of extraordinary proportions. Howard Moss's career unfolded in surprising ways. In eleven books over forty years, he transformed the urbane but astringent lyricism of his early work into a style more refined, darkened, and humane. Without sacrificing the wit and rhythmic finesse that marked his poetry from the start, he came to write with a more searching complexity or with a mo...

Praise for Aliki Barnstone "All of a sudden I understand why I like Aliki Barnstone's poems so much. They remind me of the one she has studied most--shall we call her master--that Emily Dickinson! Not in the forms, not, as such, in the music, and not in the references, but in that weird intimacy, that eerie closeness, that absolute confession of soul. She has the rare art of distance and closeness. It gives her fine music, her wisdom, her form...

The word 'fascist' inevitably gives rise to repulsive associations, but I say - if one wants to exist in the spiritual sense, not only as a false self, a 'good child' - one has to discover the fascist within oneself and use it as a kind of resource. This is our one true natural resource, and this is the gist of Yona's mysticism - that these terrible internalizations (and a child always has to internalize what there is, to play the role he's fo...

If you want to know what it is like to live in Romania under a communist dictatorship and to somehow fight your way into teaching English at an American university, read this book.

Perhaps Bag is about what it feels like to think. Carol Rumens is a kind of old woman who lives in a shoe with too many children--that includes me, you, Russians, and Englishmen and women, and children, and animals. And somehow she knew what to do. "She is an English poet, a European poet, whose imagination goes beyond the borders of Europe. Her poetry is densely peopled, clamorous with voices, furious and with an edge of hilarious clarity . ....

Five Books is about what it is like to be alive in Oxford, UK, and the world for eighty years and to find your heart is beating fifteen beats per minute. And to survive with the help of a pacemaker, the love of a beautiful wife, and England.

Over the years, as Danny has published more stories and novels about films, and suicide, and the existential issues confronting contemporary mankind, I have come to appreciate his erudition, his writing talent, the richness of his imagination, and also his wonderful humor. To spend an evening with him without laughing is quite simply inconceivable, " Elie Wiesel has written of Daniel Stern, the novelist, teacher, and cellist whom this book cel...

Mr. Pavlic has listened closely to our most profound American art, the blues and jazz, and that music has not only helped him achieve poetic form but allowed him to explore a mesh of experience extraneous to literary theories. He is, doubtless, aware of such theories, but the voices in his poems flow from a denser space, having penetrated a denser reality, returning via the imagination and its many discontents. In many of them, music and its c...

Harris writes about struggle and memory, repression and revelation--the stuff dreams and poetry are made of

Unobtrusively but decisively, Stephanos Papadopoulos' work is informed by various cultures: American, Greek, ancient and modern, French and English as distinguished from American. He follows other poets, but mostly he follows his heart. In his poetry the melancholy of the modern finds its beauty in loss itself. Papadopoulos catches this beauty in poem after poem, while his poetry swims for joy in the Atlantic, Mediterranean, and Aegean. This b...

All of a sudden I understand why I like Aliki Barnstone's poems so much. They remind me of the one she has studied most - shall we call her her master - Emily Dickinson. Not in the forms, not, as such, in the music, and not in the references, but in that weird intimacy, that eerie closeness, that absolute confession of soul.... In Barnstone, too, the two worlds are intensely present, and the voice moves back and forth between them. She has the...

Dialogue with the Archipelago is full of private mythology Suzanne Gardinier grafts on to matters modern, Biblical, and ancient. She has invented a line appropriate to her poetry ruled by a two-faced moon that keeps and holds every word precious and resonant, broad enough to hold the surf of history crashing with an emotional sweep, depth and beauty few contemporary poets can provide. Of course, her moon makes for breakers mysteriously regular...
