Life lived within a field of language, walks forever through a landscape's legends. Lutz Seiler grew up in the former German Democratic Republic and has long lived outside of Berlin. His poems arrive from the borders, the in-betweens, and the provinces, and it is precisely this literal and metaphorical soil which lies beneath, indeed nourishes, every one of Mr. Seiler's poems, poems marked by whispers, weather, time's relentless passing, ghosts, and the dead.
With an incomparable sense of stillness, quiet, and love, Mr Seiler walks with the reader through the place of which he is part and, contrary to contemporary demands, with no hurry and with great attention to its particulars. In calling forth his landscape's life, in full awareness of both his literary and non-literary forebears, Lutz Seiler has re-contextualized and radically personalized German Naturlyrik for the 21st century while simultaneously reestablishing the insoluble bond between poet and landscape.
