Sinossi

Poetry. Karin Lessing—born in Germany, raised in the USA, resident for decades in France—is one of those poets who exist outisde the tides of literary fashion, and indeed beyond the ken of most readers, although she has a devoted band of supporters, among whom Shearsman Books must be counted. Her last two collections were published by Shearsman (IN THE AVIARY OF VOICES and THE WINTER DREAM JOURNALS), and this survey of her entire writing career, which brings together all of her books plus a number of uncollected texts is vital to reaching an understanding of her work.

Informazioni sull?autore

Karin Lessing is an American poet who has been living in Provence since 1962. Her publications include two collections of poems from Shearsman Books, and two previous collections from Montemora and Pentagram Press. She was born in Gorlitz, a town now split by the German/Polish border, and emigrated to the USA at an early age.

"She lives in the hills, where things matter, making articulation precise. She writes little, so that each of her words takes on the charm of a hypnotist's watch, swinging in the silence. These are luminous objects compelling strange reveries: a species of the poem that is nearly extinct."---Eliot Weinberger
