| Summary |
Durs Grünbein is the most significant poet writing in Germany today. No other modern German poet has written from such an emphatically European perspective, and this volume seeks to introduce him to the English-speaking world. Written by a line-up of international scholars, the volume presents highly readable and wide-ranging essays on Grünbein's substantial œuvre, complemented by specially commissioned material and an interview with the poet. It covers the German and European traditions, memory and cityscapes, the natural sciences, death, love, the visual arts, and presence. |
