Juninovember

From the estate of Sarah Kirsch. Even during her lifetime, Sarah Kirsch was regarded as a classic, leaving behind an extensive and highly awarded body of work. In her poetry, she depicts states of the soul filled with profound finesse and political allusions. Despite their apparent simplicity, the poems and diary entries are anything but naive. From the estate of the great poet, we hear this unmistakable voice in "Juninovember," expressed in a distinctive style and full of poetic power. In the notes from the years 2002/2003, the archaic power of nature shines through, with the hoarfrost and dense fog of the North, the conversations of the robins at the feeding station, and "magnificently shimmering, flaming evening red." Social and political issues, such as the hostage crisis in Chechnya or the actions of the Americans, are also repeatedly addressed.
