Synopsis
Ludwig Steinherr is one of the most compelling new voices to have emerged in Germany since the late 1980s and this selection - the first to appear in English - from his 10 poetry collections published between 1985 and 2005 reflects the breadth and depth of his writing, ranging from its post-Celanian darkness to its insistence on light. "This is an uplifting selection from ten collections over twenty years. Steinherr's calling as philosopher is noticeable throughout. He seeks clarification and meaning always, sees the simplicities within the complexity, shows us the obvious that we had missed." Wawick Review, June 2011

Paperback. Condition: New. Before the Invention of Paradise is a selection from Steinherr's nine collections published since his debut collection in 1985. Dealing with the things that concern many modern German poets - silence, memory, knowing and the impossibility of knowing, the everyday and what is beyond - Steinherr's is profound yet accessible poetry. This bi-lingual edition is the first full-length collection of his work to be published in the UK, translated by Richard Dove."Ludwig Steinherr writes with almost oriental spareness and obliquity. The idea is everything, expressed simply, as if he invites us to take up a thought he has not yet followed into any certainty. Richard Dove's translations catch the spareness and the physical shape of Steinherr's poems perfectly."Don BarnardLudwig Steinherr was born in Munich in 1962, where he still lives, studied philosophy at the University of Munich and is now a freelance writer and lecturer in philosophy at the University of Eichstätt. His poems have been published widely in magazines and anthologies in Germany and abroad and have been translated into various languages, including French and Czech. Steinherr was elected a fellow of the Bavarian Academy of Fine Arts in 2003. Seller Inventory # LU-9781904614456
