Tiefenwärts

de Éva Kocziszky, Jörn Lang

"Archaeology with the viewpoint of the poet - poems of famous authors such as Gottfried Benn, Rose Ausländer or Durs Grünbein open new horizons in this volume along with exciting essays and beautiful pictures of renowned great photographers, and offer a fascinating, different approach to the archaeology of ancient Greece. Like archaeologists, the poets uncover hidden layers of the past, not with brush and trowel, but with language and their poetic intuition. This book brings together 70 German poems (1820-2011), that deal poetically with the ancient landscape of Greece and its archaeological treasures"--Publisher's website.
