Nightshift / An Area of Shadows

Powerful and terse. Frankfurter Allgemeine Poems that wrestle with the pain of an inexorable death; among the most powerful poems that this highly-gifted writer [Erika Burkart] has written. Aargauer Tagblatt Nightshift / An Area of Shadows is a moving book of a couple struggling with the inevitable. Tages-Anzeiger Erika Burkart is without a doubt the most unique, lyrical voice in contemporary Swiss literature. Peter von Matt Each of her quiet poems is a dialogue with death, yet each line invokes life. Burkart's poems leave behind much more than a fleeting trace in the snow. Her delicate poetic footsteps have long since inscribed themselves in the memory of nature and her readers. Deutschlandfunk
