Description
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 Meisterâs last decade are oracular and entrancing. While the collections previously published by WaveâOf Entirety Say the Sentence, In Timeâs Rift, and Wallless Spaceâprovide expansive access to Meisterâs late work, Uncollected Later Poems (1968â1979) delivers granular, endlessly rewarding profundities. Â
