Excellent- More about etudes
études is a collection of poems by Friederike Mayröcker, exploring longing, lust for life, aging, mortality, grief, and flowers in her distinctive late style. The poems are diary-like, moving from fragment to fragment, and experimenting with repetition, typography, collage, and quotation. They are date-stamped, allowing Mayröcker to pour in everything from notes on doctor visits to elegies and fragments of memory. The volume strikes an admirable balance between playfulness and serious inquiry.

Exploring themes of longing, passion for life, aging, mortality, grief, and flowers in her distinctive late style, études is a captivating diary-like sequence of poems by one of Austria's most celebrated contemporary poets. Friederike Mayröcker's nearly daily entries offer a unique insight into the interplay between desire and her drive to write. In Mayröcker's case, she uses her writing to both preserve a vanished world and explore the endless possibilities of being present for continuous experimentation.
The poems in this volume are not only studies of the mind's fragmented nature, moving from fragment to fragment, but also experiments with techniques of repetition, typography, collage, and quotation. Mayröcker transforms the humble page into spaces of radical openness, saying that a poem is "that which opens everything up." Each poem is date-stamped, and each date acts as a kind of permission for Mayröcker to pour in everything from notes on doctor visits to gorgeously structured elegies to obsessively repeating fragments of memory that act upon the whole like bits of recurring melody.
Rarely before has the intimate process of writing been so exquisitely laid bare as in études. Traversing the boundaries of literary forms with Mayröcker's distinctive style, this important volume strikes an admirable balance between playfulness and serious inquiry.
