Book record
In the year one
Lutz Seiler
Translated from German by Tony Frazer
In the year one by Lutz Seiler, translated from German by Tony Frazer and published by Giramondo Books, is a book rooted in Germany. Seiler’s In the year one, translated by Tony Frazer, enters English with the spareness of a title that suggests beginning without innocence. I would read this as a book of aftermaths and first perceptions, a collection attentive to the way a historical world keeps residue inside ordinary scenes. The poems seem best approached without forcing them into explanation. Let their images accumulate, then notice how time begins to feel less like chronology and more like weather.
