Description
"In the year one" is a selection of poems drawn from Lutz Seiler's second and third collections: "Pech and Blende" (2000) and "Vierzig Kilometer Nacht" (2003) and is the first collection of the author's work to appear in English. The volume is fully bilingual. Seiler is a significant new voice in contemporary German poetry, the work impressionistic, complex and elliptical, the product of a very original vision.
