Über diesen Titel

 FINALIST FOR THE 2021 PULITZER PRIZE FOR POETRY

“An undisputed literary event.” —NPR

“History—with its construction and its destruction—is at the heart of In the Lateness of the World. . . . In [it] one feels the poet cresting a wave—a new wave that will crash onto new lands and unexplored territories.” —Hilton Als, The New Yorker

Over four decades, Carolyn Forché’s visionary work has reinvigorated poetry’s power to awaken the reader. Her groundbreaking poems have been testimonies, inquiries, and wonderments. They daringly map a territory where poetry asserts our inexhaustible responsibility to one another.

Her first new collection in seventeen years, In the Lateness of the World is a tenebrous book of crossings, of migrations across oceans and borders but also between the present and the past, life and death. The world here seems to be steadily vanishing, but in the moments before the uncertain end, an illumination arrives and “there is nothing that cannot be seen.” In the Lateness of the World is a revelation from one of the finest poets writing today.

Carloyn Forché's new collection is a prophecy with deep certainty which took seventeen years in the making. It tells different stories about death, darkness, silence, war, and loss. Sometimes, it seems, we can find a certain autobiographical subtheme within the whole book when we read about European cities ("Or as you say now: there were many cities, but never a city twice" (in "Souffrance"). "Travel Papers" collects various experiences and happenings from journeys through modern history and war of this part of the world. Not all poems are dark and gloomy. While reading "Morning on the Island," I had the feeling I had been there in the scene between the sea and the wind. Furthermore, the poems also speak about massacres, refugees, the disappearance of people, such as in "Exile": "You take the tram to a stop / where it is no longer possible to get off, and he walks / with you until he vanishes, still holding in his own your / invisible hand." Last, but not least, it is the "lateness" of the book itself that brings to light very emotionally charged and touching verses: "...you have yourself within you / yourself, you have her, and there is nothing / that cannot be seen / open then to the coming of what comes." Recommend this book to all poetry lovers who watch out to not only melancholy and sadness but also to all who want to find in the fiercest elegies a beautiful ray of (sun-)light.

And in the darkness there is light
