About this product
Product Information
From a groundbreaking Slovenian-Austrian poet comes an evocative, captivating collection on searching for home in a landscape burdened with violent history. At its core, Distant Transit is an ode to survival, building a monument to traditions and lives lost. Infused with movement, Maja Haderlap's Distant Transit traverses Slovenia's scenic landscape and violent history, searching for a sense of place within its ever-shifting boundaries. Avoiding traditional forms and pronounced rhythms, Haderlap unleashes a flow of evocative, captivating passages whose power lies in their associative richness and precision of expression, vividly conjuring Slovenia's natural world--its rolling meadows, snow-capped alps, and sparkling Adriatic coast. Belonging to the Slovene ethnic minority and its inherited, transgenerational trauma, Haderlap explores the burden of history and the prolonged aftershock of conflict--warm, lavish pastoral passages conceal dark memories, and musings on the way language can create and dissolve borders reveal a deep longing for a sense of home.

Reviews
"Though Haderlap wrote these poems in German, a language with a broader reach than Slovenian, Tess Lewis's English version conveys the poet's fraught relationship with her languages, and the ways in which Slovenian haunts the composition as well as the mythology and folklore of the collection . . . I sense that the gravitas of these poems has its source in both "rivers": the extra-lingual psyche and the Ljubljanica, the river of Haderlap's home terrain, troubled with memories and remnants of war." --Heather Green, Harriet Books "Haderlap's abiding interest in language and the burden of history suffuses distant transit . . . as does her powerful sense of landscape . . . One particularly fine poem begins: "how much the torn-open field i / stand before betrays." What Haderlap finds in those fields is elegantly captured in her poems - and splendidly rendered in Lewis's thoughtful translation." --Alexander Wells , Exberliner "Maja Haderlap's poetry and prose combine poetic brilliance with explosive political power." --From the jury citation for the 2018 Max Frisch Prize Praise for Angel of Oblivion : Tess Lewis has done a fine job of translating Haderlap's lucid and lyrical prose...a hymn to remembrance - one urging us to salvage and safeguard the shards of our past from the tide of history. -- Malcolm Forbes, The National Angel of Oblivion , with its doomed and colourful cast of real-life characters, as well as multiple cruel twists of fate, is a devastating story, never less than wholeheartedly told. --Eileen Battersby, The Irish Times Angel of Oblivion is a continuous, plunging attempt to express the disorderly but urgent moment of daring to master the unmasterable. There is nothing so crass here as an 'arc' or a redemptive release. The reader is on the hook until the end - at which point the narrative's underlying premises shimmer. --Ron Slate "An arresting evocation of memory, community, and suffering." --Kirkus Reviews "Haderlap's novel seems to transcend the boundaries between languages and histories." --Iga Nowicz, The Glossa "Haderlap has written Angel of Oblivion in German with a clear and yet poetic tone, in which time is a solid glacier crushing underneath itself everything that the young hero once saw as wonderful and enduring." --Der Spiegel Additional Praise for Maja Haderlap: "The desire to abolish borders, to free confined discourse, is inscribed in these poems as an ambivalent back and forth between escape and groundedness." -- Ilma Rakusa, NZZ "Wondrously expressive poems" -- Karl-Markus Gauß, Süddeutsche Zeitung "There is no doubt that [Haderlap's poetry] sets a new benchmark in modern poetry with regard to thematic variation in linguistic reflection and direct expression." -- Walter Pobaschnig, literaturoutdoors "Haderlap's poems are political but without pathos. And they are poetic without being artificial. This is no mean feat. Strongly recommended." -- Tiroler Tageszeitung, "Maja Haderlap's poetry and prose combine poetic brilliance with explosive political power." --From the jury citation for the 2018 Max Frisch Prize Praise for Angel of Oblivion : Tess Lewis has done a fine job of translating Haderlap's lucid and lyrical prose...a hymn to remembrance - one urging us to salvage and safeguard the shards of our past from the tide of history. -- Malcolm Forbes, The National Angel of Oblivion , with its doomed and colourful cast of real-life characters, as well as multiple cruel twists of fate, is a devastating story, never less than wholeheartedly told. -- Eileen Battersby, The Irish Times Angel of Oblivion is a continuous, plunging attempt to express the disorderly but urgent moment of daring to master the unmasterable.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
