Lutz Seiler, raised in the former East Germany, has spent the majority of his life outside of Berlin. It is not surprising that his poems, which are characterized by whispers, weather, the relentless passage of time, the dead, and their ghosts, are works of the border, the in-between, and the provincial. They are a contemporary poetry of landscape that is fully aware of its literary and non-literary forebears and is presented from the perspective of a walker who pays close, unhurried attention to details. Seiler has accomplished a challenging task by recontextualizing and radically personalizing the long tradition of German nature writing for the twenty-first century with his precise, memorable language, which is presented here in compelling English.
