In their sou 'westers sea foam evaporates from their eyes the
scales fall onto the pale bodies of the fish who dream that the
fishermen sleep. Sabine Lange has been in print in Germany since
1987 and this, her first full collection, appeared in 1994 under
the title "Immer zu Fuss". Her poetry explores the human -
particularly the female - condition in the light of her personal
experiences as a musician and poet, and is set against the backdrop
of the beautiful Mecklenburg countryside in which she has spent
most of her life. Written in deceptively simple language with short
lines and striking images, her poems - often about love, music, the
seasons, the landscape - are full of a meditative beauty which is
sometimes peaceful, sometimes dark. But she can be upbeat too,
funny, whimsical, exultant. "The Fishermen Sleep" is the first
English translation of Lange's poetry, and the English-language
reader is the richer for it.
