| Publisher Description: Eros and Thanatos. Love and Death. The majestic themes of life and literature that characterize J rg Amann's entire body of work are delicately woven together in Lifelong Bird Migration, his last collection of poems to be published. The poems are accompanied with the searing question of "how she was intended, our World where love subsides, and ... if she is intended at all." Precise, masterful but searingly lucid, these poems talk of love in the inevitable vision of a final departure and of a yearning of faith lost. Compiled by the poet himself before his untimely death in 2013 and faithfully brought to life in English by award-winning translator, Marc Vincenz, Lifelong Bird Migration brings together the quintessence of Amann's small yet influential oeuvre of verse. |
