Austrian poet and playwright Ernst Jandl died in 2000, leaving
behind his partner, poet Friederike Mayrocker and bringing to an
end a half century of shared life, and shared literary work.
Mayrocker immediately began attempting to come to terms with his
death in the way that poets struggling with loss have done for
millennia: by writing. Requiem for Ernst Jandl is the powerfully
moving outcome. In this quiet but passionate lament that grows into
a song of enthralling intensity, Mayrocker recalls memories and
shared experiences, and with the sudden, piercing perception of
regrets that often accompany grief reads Jandl's works in a new
light. Alarmed by a sudden, existential emptiness, she reflects on
the future, and the possibility of going on with her life and work
in the absence of the person who, as we see in this elegy, was a
constant conversational and creative partner.
