Über den Autor

In contemporary times the phrase "popular poet" may sound like a contradiction, yet Sarah Kirsch comes at least close to meeting that description. After working briefly in a factory and studying biology at the University of Halle, she devoted herself to creative writing at the Johannes R. Becher mehr anzeigen Institute in Leipzig. Kirsch signed a protest against the expulsion of singer-songwriter Wolf Biermann from East Germany in 1976 and then received permission to emigrate to West Berlin, where she lives today. Since her first book of poetry Landaufenhalt (A Stay in the Country, 1967), Kirsch has gone on to publish many slim volumes of verse, in addition to a few short stories. In a land where both politics and metaphysics are discussed with particular passion, Kirsch has defiantly refused to be drawn into either. A sense of rebelliousness runs through her work, but it generally takes the form of guarding her personal autonomy. Though proudly feminine, she has repudiated any interest in feminist politics. She is openly idiosyncratic yet unpretentious and proud of her individuality. The poems of Sarah Kirsch are generally meditative and, as she has explained on a number of occasions, are not intended to reveal themselves on the first or second reading. They are poems in which the reader feels that he or she is being treated with friendliness and respect. (Bowker Author Biography) weniger anzeigen

Kurzbiographie
Sarah Kirsch was born Ingrid Bernstein in Limlingerode, Germany, and spent most of her childhood in Halberstadt in central Germany. She is said to have changed her first name to Sarah as a symbolic protest against anti-Semitism. She received a degree in biology from the University of Halle in 1959 and studied literature at the Johannes R. Becher Institute for Literature in Leipzig. In 1965, she married Rainer Kirsch, a writer; the marriage was short-lived. Her first published works were radio plays and her first volume of poetry, Gespräch mit dem Saurier, appeared in 1965. She moved to East Berlin and had a son with avant-garde writer Karl Michel. She signed a petition in support of Wolf Biermann, a singer-songwriter expelled by the East German authorities in 1976, which led to her ouster from the Socialist Party and the GDR Writer's Association. The pressure on her caused her to leave for the West. She settled in Tielenhemme in the north German province of Schleswig-Holstein. Although she's known mainly as a poet, she also wrote prose and translated children's books into German. She won numerous prizes and honors for her work, including the German international literary Petrarca-Preis in 1976, the Peter-Huchel Prize in 1993 and the Georg Büchner Prize in 1996.

Rezensionen

This is a great book that reminded me of books I had read by well-known authors. Julia wants it all, but settles for a part-time job and a sort of fictionalized blog about simple life with her husband and son on her grandparents’ farm. When the blog is picked up to become a TV reality show, Julia moves to the farm for filming and comes head to head with a former beau, Brad, who now manages the farm. The book presents the simple life, though it seems as if Julia’s life is anything but simple. Still, the story and the growing attraction between Julia and Brad and the blog turned reality show are simple yet complex in their own way. I loved the idea of the book and hope the author continues the idea into a series. The chemistry between Julia and Brad was great. The idea of finding joy in the simple things of life was likewise great. This is a quick, down-to-earth romance that will enthrall all romance lovers as well as anyone looking for a breath of fresh air. I received this from Library Thing to read and review.… (mehr)
