Prüfung

An unpublished poem by this German poet, who won the same prize (The Horst Bienek Poetry Prize) that Seamus Heaney, Geoffrey Hill, R.S. Thomas, Robert Creeley and Friederike Mayröcker had won before her (just to name those who have had work published in BABEL). The first publication in our Bright Series.

Prüfung was set by hand in Stempel Garamond and printed (letterpress) by Brikettpresse, Munich, on a single sheet of 100gsm wood-free Salzer paper (folded once, 27,9 x 17,6 cm, and hand-sewn into 270gsm light blue card wrappers) in an edition of 126 copies, of which 26 are lettered (A-Z) and signed by the poet.
