More About the Author
Product Description
Review
Astonishing writing. A true poet at work (Evening Standard )
When you read Sebald you are transported to another realm. Reading him is a truly sublime experience (Literary Review )
Sebald reminds me of the humanist tradition of Günter Grass or Heinrich Böll, company he unquestioningly belongs to as poet, essayist and prose writer, one of the greatest artists of our time (Gerald Dawe Irish Times )
The poems . . . show a humane and complex intelligence at work and deserve a place next to Sebald's prose output (New Statesman )
Product Description
When W.G. Sebald died in 2001, he was internationally acknowledged as one of the most important German writers of our era. Now, thanks to Iain Galbraith's vibrant translations, the full breadth of his poetry is available in English for the first time.
This volume brings together poems published during Sebald's lifetime with an additional selection of those which were found in his literary archives in Marbach and never published while he was alive. Arranged chronologically, from work published during his student days in the 1960s to the longer narratives he produced during the 1980s, the poems touch on the themes which were closest to Sebald - nature and history; forgetting and remembering; borders, journeys and landscapes - and express in short, lyrical form the same distinctive insight and sensitivity that shaped his great works of prose fiction.

Customer Reviews
The poems were composed throughout his life alongside the prose works for which he is perhaps better known. They reflect some of the preoccupations of his prose, perhaps demanding even more of a reader but offering rewards as great.
