Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. For the first time available in English, two portraits of grief by Friederike Mayroecker, one of the most significant European writers of our time.Friederike Mayroecker met Ernst Jandl in 1954, through the experimental Vienna Group of German writers and artists. It was an encounter that would alter the course of their lives. Jandl's death in 2000 ended a partnership of nearly half a century. As writers have for millennia, Mayroecker turned to her art to come to terms with the loss. Taking its cue from the Andre Breton's work of the same name, The Communicating Vessels is an intensely personal book of mourning, comprised of 140 entries spanning the course of a year and exploring everyday life in the immediate aftermath of Jandl's death. Rilke is said to have observed that poetry should begin as elegy but end as praise: taking this as a guiding principle, And I Shook Myself a Beloved reflects on a lifetime of shared books and art, impressions and conversations, memories and dreams. Masterfully translated by Alexander Booth, these two singular books of remembrance and farewell offer a stunning testament to a life of passionate reading, writing, and love. For the first time available in English, two portraits of grief by Friederike Mayroecker, one of the most significant European writers of our time. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

the folded clock (Paperback)
Language: English
Published by Twisted Spoon Press, Prague, 2025
ISBN 10: 8088628113 ISBN 13: 9788088628118
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Like Kurt Schwitters before him, Gerhard Ruhm has incorporated numerals and digits into his visual and aural poetry since the early days of Wiener Gruppe in the 1950s. The Folded Clock brings together these number poems, comprising typewriter ideograms, typed concrete poetry, collages of everyday paper ephemera and scraps, and a wide variety of literary forms where the visual pattern created on the page underpins the thematic meaning. Blurring the distinction between "counting" and "recounting," his "recitations" imaginatively translate arithmetic vocabulary into the mundane, the existential, or the cosmic, such as a history of the universe narrated as a solar year, from the Big Bang on January 1 to the moon landing in the last seconds of New Year's Eve. Ruhm's images and texts unleash the sensual qualities of numerals to subvert our digit-filled environment with its pervasive intensification of seamless control. Inspired by Kurt Schwitters, Gerhard Ruhm has incorporated numerals and digits into his visual and aural poetry since the 1950s, comprising typewriter ideograms, typed concrete poetry, collages of everyday paper ephemera and scraps, and a wide variety of literary forms where the visual pattern created on the page underpins the thematic meaning.

Cake & Prostheses (Paperback)
Language: English
Published by Twisted Spoon Press, Prague, 2024
ISBN 10: 8088628024 ISBN 13: 9788088628026
Paperback. Condition: new. Ruhm, Gerhard (illustrator). Paperback. An inveterate experimenter with image and text and music whose work bears the clear influences of Dada, Surrealism, Expressionism, and absurdism, Gerhard Ruhm is truly one of the major figures of the postwar European avant-garde. Yet reprehensibly little of his work has appeared in English. This edition brings together a selection of his work spanning the past seven decades, displaying a wide thematic range (as he has remarked, "there is nothing that cannot become part of one's poetic universe") and ingenious combinations of motifs such as music, pornography, banality, humor, and mythology. The first section comprises "mini dramas," the text often combined with images and musical notation to create sensorial episodes, the expression of a singularly sensual aesthetic perception. The second section is a wry deconstruction of Grillparzer's play Hero and Leander that juxtaposes original passages with images from a swimming manual and a more contemporary erotic take on the mythological tale. The final section presents 24 short prose pieces: 12 from the early 1950s and 12 from the past few years. Inveterate experimenter with image, text, and music whose works bears the influences of Dada, Surrealism, Expressionism, Gerhard Ruhm is truly one of the major figures of the postwar European avant-garde. This edition brings together a selection of his work spanning seven decades. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

as mornings and mossgreen I. Step to the window
Language: English
Published by Seagull Books London Ltd, GB, 2023
ISBN 10: 1803091428 ISBN 13: 9781803091426
Hardback. Condition: New. Poetic prose meditations translated superbly into English. Austrian poet Friederike Mayröcker is widely considered one of the most important European poets of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The last book of hers to be published during her lifetime, as mornings and moosgreen I. Step to the window is an elliptical and, if at times cryptic, deeply personal, playful, and highly poetic collection of experiences, memories, dreams, desires, fears, visions, observations, and peregrinations through landscapes both real and imagined. The volume bears witness to her unique late lyrical style of pyrotechnical cut-up. Among many others, her beloved Derrida, Duchamp, Hölderlin, and Jean-Paul all appear, almost like guides, as Mayröcker bravely makes her way through infirmity, old age, and loneliness, prolonging her time as a prolific writer as much as possible.
