Mayröcker immediately began attempting to come to terms with his death in the way that poets struggling with loss have done for millennia: by writing. \u003ci\u003eRequiem for Ernst Jandl\u003c\/i\u003e is the powerfully moving outcome. In this quiet but passionate lament that grows into a song of enthralling intensity, Mayröcker recalls memories and shared experiences, and--with the sudden, piercing perception of regrets that often accompany grief--reads Jandl's works in a new light. Alarmed by a sudden, existential emptiness, she reflects on the future, and the possibility of going on with her life and work in the absence of the person who, as we see in this elegy, was a constant conversational and creative partner.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFriederike Mayröcker\u003c\/b\u003e, born in Vienna is 1924, has been publishing poetry, prose, stage plays, radio plays, and children's books since 1956. \u003cb\u003eRoslyn Theobald\u003c\/b\u003e is a literary translator who lives in Oak Park, Illinois. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 7.8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 05, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51765873148192,"sku":"9781803090429","price":10.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/e254fc26b38f73a52afbb1ddb3fd2986.webp?v=1780282107","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/requiem-for-ernst-jandl-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
