Flight and Metamorphosis
Nelly Sachs
Translated from German by Joshua Weiner
Flight and Metamorphosis by Nelly Sachs, translated from German by Joshua Weiner, Linda B. Parshall and published by FSG Books, is a book rooted in Germany. Sachs’s Flight and Metamorphosis, translated by Joshua Weiner and Linda B. Parshall, carries the moral and spiritual force of a poet writing after catastrophe without allowing catastrophe to become the only name for the work. Flight and change are not abstractions here. They are survival terms, grief terms, forms of witness. This is a book to read slowly, for the way image can hold historical terror and still keep moving toward song. For a reader browsing the shelf, the book offers another proof that translation expands feeling as much as access.
