For nearly half a century, German artist Max Neumann has worked to
create, hone, and elaborate a visual vocabulary that is dark,
compulsive, and forceful. A lifelong collaborator, Neumann's
paintings have accompanied the work of Cees Nooteboom, Seamus
Heaney, Fernando Pessoa, and Laszlo Krasznahorkai, among many
others. In Poetry and Time, Neumann's haunting images are
accompanied by a lyrical and penetrating text from poet Joachim
Sartorius, who notes that a certain silence is at the very heart of
poems, stating: "They know what it is they do, but do not say it."
Exploring this mystery, he considers examples from Dickinson,
Rilke, and Shakespeare, among others, and examines the realities of
transience and mortality at the center of poems' reasons for being,
their urge to form their own reality and abolish time while being
inextricably bound to time. Sartorius's ruminations beautifully
complement Neumann's series of thirty poignant paintings, making
this volume is an extraordinarily rare and exquisite book.
