Literary Nonfiction. Poetry History & Criticism. Translated
from the German by Michael Eskin. This extraordinary book offers a
dazzling personal poetics as well as a sustained engagement with
the origins of poetry itself. In tracing an arc from the landfills
and forests of an East German childhood to the "global air-space of
poetry," it takes in a breathtaking poetic itinerary from the
Classics to the present day. Emerging from the heart of the
European tradition, every page is packed with insight, wit and
linguistic surprises, superbly rendered in Michael Eskin's supple
English. But more than that: this is a volume with a mission. In
reckoning with the possibilities of poetry, it sets out to show us
a better way of being in the world: "a guide to thinking and
feeling with precision." Written by one of the most exciting and
thought-provoking writers of the moment, THE VOCATION OF POETRY is
essential reading for anyone interested in modern poetry or in
modern life.
