In Ulrike Almut Sandig's latest volume of poetry, it is only a leap from the creation of the world to the symphony of the Berlin metropolis. And there is a question holding out off the coast of Lampedusa: Can shining sheep be used as night storage for the dark hours, when we are overwhelmed with fears of God, of a gym teacher with a whistle, of mothers with eyes as black as coal? In devastating sequences, Sandig charts the reality of an abused child, victims of contemporary war, or a fourteenth-century Madonna. Full of humor, musicality, lightness, and rage, \u003ci\u003e Shining Sheep\u003c\/i\u003e is not just visual poetry--it has loops in your ear and filmic explosions of imagery for all your senses.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUlrike Almut Sandig\u003c\/b\u003e has written five volumes of poetry, along with short stories and a novel \u003ci\u003eMonsters Like Us\u003c\/i\u003e, also published by Seagull.
