Across the Land and the Water: Selected Poems, 1964-2001 (Modern Library)

â€œA splendid addition to an already extraordinary oeuvre.â€â€”Teju Cole, The New Yorker
Â
German-born W. G. Sebald is best known as the innovative author of Austerlitz, the prose classic of World War II culpability and conscience that put its author in the company of Nabokov, Calvino, and Borges. Now comes the first major collection of this literary masterâ€™s poems. Skillfully translated by Iain Galbraith, they range from pieces Sebald wrote as a student in the sixties to those completed right before his untimely death in 2001. In nearly one hundred poemsâ€”the majority published in English for the first timeâ€”Sebald explores his trademark themes, from nature and history, to wandering and wondering, to oblivion and memory. Soaring and searing, the poetry of W. G. Sebald is an indelible addition to his superb body of work, and this collection is bound to become a classic in its own right.
