Bøker av Anna Mendelssohn

Anna Mendelssohn (1948-2009) authored poetry, fiction, drama, and life writing; she was also a visual artist, musician, and translator. From the early 1980s, Mendelssohn composed 19 poetry collections and published in journals receptive to her experimental, charged lyrics, and retained a marginal, if constant, presence in the poetry community.

In this first full-length collection, Anna Mendelssohn continues her explorations of power, persecution and loss. Mendelssohn's work shows the intense relationship between agency and structure in the modern world. Her magical, weaving and at times painful lyric poetry draws us into an ecstatic vision of our own dependencies, dreams and desires.
