Mayröcker immediately began attempting to come to terms with his death in the way that poets struggling with loss have done for millennia: by writing. \u003ci\u003eRequiem for Ernst Jandl\u003c\/i\u003e is the powerfully moving outcome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this quiet but passionate lament that grows into a song of enthralling intensity, Mayröcker recalls memories and shared experiences, and—with the sudden, piercing perception of regrets that often accompany grief—reads Jandl’s works in a new light. Alarmed by a sudden, existential emptiness, she reflects on the future, and the possibility of going on with her life and work in the absence of the person who, as we see in this elegy, was a constant conversational and creative partner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47461340512492,"sku":"9781803090429","price":19.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781803090429-requiem-for-ernst-jandl.jpg?v=1774965568"},{"product_id":"as-mornings-and-mossgreen-i-step-to-the-window-by-alexander-booth-9781803091426","title":"as mornings and mossgreen I.

Friederike Mayröcker’s almost daily entries give us a unique view into the interplay between desire and her motivation for writing. In Mayröcker’s case, she writes both to keep a vanished world present and to exploit the possibilities of being present for constant experimentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe poems in this volume are not only studies of how the mind works, moving from fragment to fragment, but also experiments with techniques of repetition, typography, collage, and quotation. Mayröcker transforms the humble page into spaces of radical openness. After all, she says, a poem is that which “opens everything up.” Each poem is date-stamped, and each date acts as a kind of permission for Mayröcker to pour in everything from notes on doctor’s visits to gorgeously structured elegies to obsessively repeating fragments of memory that act upon the whole like bits of recurring melody.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRarely before has the intimate process of writing been so exquisitely laid bare than in \u003cem\u003eétudes\u003c\/em\u003e.
