Sachs, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1966, speaks from her own condition as a refugee from Nazi Germany--her loneliness while living in a small Stockholm flat with her elderly mother, her exile, her alienation, her feelings of romantic bereavement, and her search for the divine. Forced onto a journey of endless change, Sachs created her own path forward. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom these sublime poems, she emerges as a visionary, one who harnesses language's essential power to create and transform our world. Joshua Weiner's translations are the first in more than half a century to elucidate Sachs's enduring poetic power and relevance.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Farrar, Straus and Giroux","offers":[{"title":"Flight and Metamorphosis: Poems: A Bilingual Edition | Nelly Sachs | Regular hardback | 9780374157081 | New | Poetry 1286514","offer_id":48757640659096,"sku":"1286514","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/41IdoFx84pL.jpg?v=1774235428","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/flight-and-metamorphosis-poems-a-bilingual-edition","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
