Description
Book SynopsisThere has been growing interest in Ernst Meister because of the publication of two books in his informal trilogy, In Time's Rift (2012) and Wallless Space (2014). We expect much excitement for this final installment. This collection differs from the others in its expansion, both in ideas and the length of the poems. Though he wrote from outside the literary circles of his time, Ernst Meister received accolades for his poetry, including Germany's most prestigious poetry prize, the Georg Büchner Prize. Translator Foust is an esteemed poet with an established fan base. Translator Frederick is a noted German scholar. The original poems, in German, will face the English translations. This book holds diverse appeal to those interested in philosophy, existential questions, and international literature.
Trade ReviewArguably the most emotionally resonant of Meister’s late trilogy, this collection carves out a much-needed space for an essential and often overlooked poet. —Publishers Weekly
