"A splendid addition to an already extraordinary oeuvre."--Teju
Cole, "The New Yorker"
German-born W. G. Sebald is best known as the innovative author of
"Austerlitz, "the prose classic of World War II culpability and
conscience that put its author in the company of Nabokov, Calvino,
and Borges. Now comes the first major collection of this literary
master's poems. Skillfully translated by Iain Galbraith, they range
from pieces Sebald wrote as a student in the sixties to those
completed right before his untimely death in 2001. In nearly one
hundred poems--the majority published in English for the first
time--Sebald explores his trademark themes, from nature and
history, to wandering and wondering, to oblivion and memory.
Soaring and searing, the poetry of W. G. Sebald is an indelible
addition to his superb body of work, and this collection is bound
to become a classic in its own right.
"How fortunate we are to have this writer's startling imagination
freshly on display once again, expressed in language honed to a
perfect simplicity."--Billy Collins
"A watershed volume . . . nothing less than
transcendent."--"BookPage"
" Sebald was] a defining writer of his era."--"The New Republic"
