Inhaltsangabe

Winner of the Herder Prize, Nichita Stanescu was one of Romania’s most celebrated contemporary poets. This dazzling collection of poems – the most extensive collection of his work to date – reveals a world in which heavenly and mysterious forces converse with the everyday and earthbound, where love and a quest for truth are central, and urgent questions flow. His startling images stretch the boundaries of thought. His poems, at once surreal and corporeal, lead us into new metaphysical and linguistic terrain.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Stanescu received the Herder Prize in 1975 and was nominated for the Nobel Prize in 1979.

In Praise of People
From the point of view of trees, the sun is a band of heat, people – a terrible emotion . . . They are the wandering fruits of an even greater tree.
From the point of view of stones, the sun is a falling stone, people are a tender pressure . . . They are motion added to motion and light you can see, from the sun.
From the point of view of air, the sun is air full of birds, wing beating on wing. People are birds never before seen, with wings ingrown
that beat, hover, glide, within an air more pure: thought.
