Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Naomi Replansky, a Bronx native, began to write poetry in her teens and published her first collection, Ring Song, in 1952 when she was 34. Critics were dazzled by her candor and freshness of language and the book was nominated for a National Book Award. Replansky has since published three additional collections and translated numerous works from German and Yiddish. Her Collected Poems won the Poetry Society of America’s 2013 William Carlos Williams Award and was a finalist for the 2014 Poets’ Prize. With her long-time partner, the writer and scholar Eva Kollisch, Replansky received the 2015 Clara Lemlich Award honoring women who have spent their lives working for the larger good. Replansky died in 2023, a few months shy of her 105th birthday.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Nominated for the National Book Award in 1952, Naomi Replansky's first book Ring Song dazzled critics with its candor and freshness of language. Here at long last is the new and collected work of a lifetime by a writer hailed as "one of the most brilliant American poets" by George Oppen. Replansky is a poet whose verse combines the compression of Emily Dickinson, the passion of Anna Akhmatova, and the music of W.H. Auden. These poems, which Marie Ponsot calls "sixty years of a free woman's song," are Replansky's hymns to the struggle for justice and equality and to the enduring beauty of life in our dangerous world.
