Batten David - Winterreis - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Charting winter journeys travelling to funerals and to the anniversary of a young death David Batten reflects on loss in its many guises. Facing grief with a meticulous attention whether it strikes in close family or political reality Winterreis touches on truths as urgent now as when Willhelm M ller wrote his own Winterreise a poetry cycle with which Batten resonates and echoes or when Franz Schubert composed his song cycle of the same name based on M ller's poems. The poems here become an "assembly of the omens encountered while wandering in contemporary Europe." and a commemoration of those making music and poetry who too often die young. Poignant cathartic and ultimately life - affirming this is considered poetry written with grace.
