Requiem for Ernst Jandl
A prose-poem lament written after the death of Ernst Jandl, the poet who had been her companion for nearly fifty years. Mayröcker's broken, run-on syntax follows grief as it slides between memory, everyday objects and direct address to the dead man. An Austrian late-avant-garde elegy for one of the great partnerships in German-language poetry.
