Ernst Meister Book order

"A collection of poems by Ernst Meister (1911-1979) translated by Graham Foust and Samuel Frederick"--

Ernst Meister has rarely before been translated into English, and yet his is a poetry which deals with the big love, death, freedom, security and the ambiguity of existence. In this compelling new translation, the reader may accompany Meister not just into the mindset of individual poems, but also through a series of poetic wrestlings with life to a final confrontation with approaching death which very few poets have attempted with such clarity. There is nothing morbid or depressing about these poems, and if the poet's conclusions are unflinching, they are also both startling and uplifting.
