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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Seagull Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/05\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781803090429\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.00w x 0.40d","brand":"Friederike Mayr\u0026#246;cker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42370526019765,"sku":"9781803090429","price":8.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_3794e36f-aa62-461d-85d3-10d2f5e29a39.jpg?v=1663039562","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/requiem-for-ernst-jandl-9781803090429","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
