Description

Pitch and Glint is a landmark collection of poetry that explores the complexities of childhood and identity. Written by Lutz Seiler, this powerful work is rooted in his own experiences growing up in an East German village affected by Soviet uranium extraction.

The poems are highly personal and evocative, traversing the rural sidelines of European history with a sense of urgency and vulnerability. They grapple with themes of body fragility, manual labour, and the unknowability of parents' suffering, ultimately leading to the loss of childhood innocence.

At its core, Pitch and Glint is a meditation on the power of sound in poetry, where the poem's rhythm and cadence are as important as its narrative. This is a book that will resonate with readers who appreciate lyrical, introspective verse.
