Synopsis

The experience of living in the Chernivtsi ghetto under the Nazis remains a dark undertow in all Rose Ausländer s poetry. The hardships of a life in hiding, the constant fear of Nazi terror and concentration camps are all harrowingly present, while other poems speak to the mother for whose sake she endured. After the war Ausländer s later poetry brought her prizes and acclaim, establishing her extraordinary simplicity as a distinctive voice in German poetry.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Rose Auslander, who died in 1988, was a Jewish German- and English language poet. She was born in Bucovina (on what is now the Romania/Ukraine border), and lived in U.S.A, Romania, and Germany. By the end of her life, she was recognised as one of the truest poets of post-war Germany, a woman and a witness in whom the dark and the light, the ashes and the hope, are so finely balanced that we hold our breath as we read.
