Description

Sarah Kirsch's Selected Poems offer a unique perspective on Germany's postwar existences. This bilingual volume brings together previously untranslated poems from acclaimed German poet Sarah Kirsch, who drew upon her experiences living and working in East Germany and later in rural Schleswig-Holstein. Her poetry is characterised by free-flowing syntax and fluid sound patterning, reflecting a lifelong resistance to constraint and convention. Fresh translations capture the characteristic sounds and rhythms of Kirsch's writing, revealing the full range of her poetry from early volumes to more recent works. The result is a collection that showcases the enigmatic beauty of the Schleswig-Holstein landscapes.
