Book Giveaway For In Time's Rift (Im Zeitspalt)

[close] With their tortuous syntax and distinctive musicality, Ernst Meister’s brief, afflicted poems attend to the writer’s lifelong obsessions with being and mortality. Compact, abstract, and at times koan-like, their language might be described as an attempt at a written image of thought. First published in 1976 and appearing now for the first time in English in its entirety, Meister’s penultimate collection delivers a poetry comprised of equal parts philosophical rigor and lived experience.

This is a bilingual (German/English) edition. [close]
