Summary

"Sage vom Ganzen den Satz (Of Entirety Say the Sentence) is the first volume of an informal trilogy comprising Ernst Meister's final three books; it is followed by Im Zeitspalt (In Time's Rift) and Wandloser Raum (Wallless Space). While we can't provide notes as thorough and wide-ranging as those available in the German-language critical edition of Meister's poems (Gedichte: Textkritische und kommentierte Ausgabe, published by Wallstein Verlag in 2011), we hope that this introduction will illuminate some of Meister's major concerns during the composition of the poems herein, particularly two events --one an anniversary, the other a tragedy --that occurred in 1970"--Introduction.
