Karenmaria Subach: Her Breath on the Window, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

"Karenmaria Subach's Her Breath on the Window reflects upon longing in its range of forms, moving in rich lyrical detail through history and the world of fantasy / mythos. Through formal poems, riddle, and sustained lyric contemplative expression, Subach offers her own "blue perfume flask with a gold band," the "trade" of art, hard-won through what the writer has survived. In these poems, Hadrian and Antinous, Cleopatra and Marc Antony, Snow White and the Prince, as well as a range of separated lovers and characters divided by war, death, and family trauma are explored in their often-desperate predicaments. These poems are narratively dense, voice- and image-driven, full of passion and rage, and they draw on the poet's training in literature, languages, and history"--
