Nelly Sachs
Nelly Sachs. The Poetics of Silence and the Limits of Representation examines the poetry of the Nobel Prize-winning German Jewish poet Nelly Sachs. It firstly shifts established patterns of reception by analysing the author’s reception in East and West Germany after the war and the role she came to play in the Federal Republic as a representative ‘Poet of Reconciliation’. The study then situates Sachs’ work within the framework of the debate surrounding the representation of the Holocaust by means of a thorough exposition of the aporia at the heart of Theodor Adorno’s writings on post-Holocaust art. It demonstrates by close reading how Sachs’ work is itself marked by this aporeti...
Flight and Metamorphosis
The central collection by the poet, dramatist, and Nobel laureate Nelly Sachs, newly translated by Joshua Weiner (with Linda B. Parshall). So far out, in the open, cushioned in sleep. In flight from the land with love's heavy luggage. A butterfly-zone of dreams like an open parasol held up against the truth. Flight and Metamorphosis marks the culmination of Nelly Sachs's development as a poet. Sachs, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1966, speaks from her own condition as a refugee from Nazi Germany - her loneliness while living in a small Stockholm flat with her elderly mother; her exile, her alienation, her feelings of romantic bereavement; and her search for the divine. Forced onto a journey of endless change, Sachs created her own path forward. From these sublime poems, she emerges as a visionary, one who harnesses language's essential power to create and transform our world. Joshua Weiner's translations (with Linda B. Parshall) are the first in more than half a century to elucidate Sachs's enduring poetic power and relevance.
Nelly Sachs, Flight and Metamorphosis
This richly illustrated biography is the first book in English to chronicle the life of Nelly Sachs (1891–1970), recipient of the 1966 Nobel Prize in Literature. The book follows Sachs from her secluded years in Berlin as the only child of assimilated German Jews, through her last-minute flight from the Nazis in 1940, to her exile in "peaceful Sweden"—a time of poverty and isolation, but also of growing fame. Enriched by over 300 images of Sachs's manuscripts, photographs, and possessions, Flight and Metamorphosis not only offers detailed insights into the contexts of Sachs's formation as a writer, but also looks at themes of trauma and testimony in her central works. Aris Fioretos draws...

TEXT + KRITIK 23 - Nelly Sachs
Nelly Sachs zählt zu den bedeutendsten deutschen Dichterinnen des 20. Jahrhunderts. Lange war es schwierig, ihre Lyrik nicht ausschließlich durch eine historische Linse zu betrachten. Als "Dichterin jüdischen Schicksals" wurde sie von Walter A. Berendsohn bezeichnet. Gleichzeitig sprengt ihre Lyrik nicht nur die Grenzen der Sprache, sondern auch die der Form: Sachs war nicht nur Zeitzeugin, mit ihrer szenischen Dichtung war sie ebenso Avantgardekünstlerin. Diese Heftneufassung vereint aktuelle und bewährte Stimmen der Sachs-Forschung. Verfasst von Literaturwissenschaftlern, Schriftstellern und Kritikern, geben die Beiträge Einblicke in das umfangreiche, vielschichtige Werk von Sachs als Lyrikerin und Übersetzerin sowie in ihre sogenannten Tintenverwandtschaften.

Translation as Transhumance
Mireille Gansel grew up in the traumatic aftermath of her family losing everything—including their native languages—to Nazi Germany. In the 1960s and 70s, she translated poets from East Berlin and Vietnam. Gansel’s debut conveys the estrangement every translator experiences by moving between tongues, and muses on how translation becomes an exercise of empathy between those in exile.
