Paperback. Condition: Very Good. "[Meister's] enviable combination of lyrical talent and existential preoccupation . . . is not a peaceful, divine perception but rather a distillation of despair . . . derangement seems almost justified."Will Stone, The Times Literary Supplement Ernst Meister's brief, afflicted poems attend to the writer's lifelong obsessions with being and mortality. First published in 1976 and appearing for the first time in English in its entirety, it is a collection equal parts philosophical rigor and lived experience. We had a face-off in the light. Dust floated around us, tenderly. Ernst Meister (19111979) was posthumously awarded the most prestigious award for German literature, the Georg Büchner Prize.…

Paperback. Condition: New. "Meister's work is mesmerizingly succinct and elusive, but also ambitious to a degree almost unheard-of among presently-observed aesthetic moments. Highly recommended."--The Huffington Post "Foust and Frederick have done us all a great favor. Meister's poetry could have been lost in the rift of time that he wrote so elegantly about."--The Rumpus "A good, interesting collection, in a solid translation.In Time's Rift is a welcome volume and certainly suggests that Meister is a significant poet deserving greater attention."--Complete Review Wallless Space is a translation of German poet Ernst Meister's final collection and the last of the informal trilogy which also includes In Time's Rift (Wave Books, 2012) and Of Entirety Say the Sentence (Wave, forthcoming 2015). Meister's poems are brief but dense, intense but playful; obsessed with mortality and the intersections of the everyday and the infinite. There's nary a Maker, there's nary a witness, there's only Nature, who brings herself about herself, she alone-- and I'm supposedly lonely in her? Ernst Meister (1911--79) was born in Hagen, Germany.He was posthumously awarded the most prestigious award for German literature, the Georg Buchner Prize. Graham Foust is the author of several collections of poetry, including To Anacreon in Heaven and Other Poems (Flood Editions, April 2013). He teaches at the University of Denver. Samuel Frederick is the author of Narratives Unsettled: Digression in Robert Walser, Thomas Bernhard, and Adalbert Stifter (Northwestern University Press, 2012). He is an assistant professor of German at the Pennsylvania State University.…

Paperback. Condition: New. In these skillful new translations by poet Graham Foust and scholar Samuel Frederick, whose work has previously been shortlisted for the National Translation Award in Poetry, each line is gnomic yet ample, opening spaces of reflection on mortality and infinity. Now preserved in this portable, English-language volume, these poems from Georg Büchner Prize winner Ernst Meister's last decade are oracular and entrancing. While the collections previously published by Wave-Of Entirety Say the Sentence, In Time's Rift, and Wallless Space-provide expansive access to Meister's late work, Uncollected Later Poems (1968-1979) delivers granular, endlessly rewarding profundities.…

Paperback. Condition: New. "Like his subject matter Meister's writing is ominous, intangible and inescapable."Publishers Weekly"The translators of Wallless Space were brave to take on Meister's dense and unusual poetry, and so far their work has been excellent. . . . Foust and Frederick have preserved the phonetic elements of Meister's verseassonance, alliteration, rhyme, anaphorawithout sacrificing the poet's distilled diction and powerfully short dimeter and trimeter lines."Christopher Shannon, Words Without BordersOne of the last books by post-war German poet and Georg Büchner Prize winner Ernst Meisterand the third to be translated into English by poet Graham Foust and scholar Samuel FrederickOf Entirety Say the Sentence is his most expansive book. With rich allusions to Hölderlin and Celan, these poems are staggering in their scope of mortality, time, and infinity.Mankindhas his song to sing,and even though I amshaken by the world's silence,I don't want to fling anythingover the crown of his head.Ernst Meister (1911-1979) was born in Hagen, Germany.
