SynopsisPresents a selection of poems, where Jaochim Sartorius gathers his journeys between continents and cultures, and his encounters and observations gleaned from reading. The post-9/11 poems, translated from German by Robert Gray, Christopher Middleton and others, build a bridge across the West-Eastern divide., Based on encounters, observations, and gleanings while traveling the world, this collection of Joachim Sartorius' eclectic and esoteric verse ranges in topic from the yellow cabs of Lagos and the horseshoes on Hitler's favorite steed to North African guards loading bottles of butane onto a trolley outside a crematorium. Poignant and timely, these poems speak to a global community, revealing how cultural divides can be bridged., "Ice Memory" is the first book of poems by the German poet Joachim Sartorius to be published in English. A traveller between continents, cultures and eras, Sartorius is a poet of global reach, whose poems, full of sound and light, documenting the wealth and exhaustion of the world, are magnificently brought into English by translators from Australia, Britain and the United States. In memories and ruins, Joachim Sartorius shows how bridges can be built in a fragmented world. The book includes translations by Richard Dove, Robert Gray, Michael Hamburger, Michael Hulse, Christopher Middleton, Sibylle Schlsier, Andrew Shields, Nathaniel Tarn, and Rosmarie Waldorp.
