Sachs, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1966, speaks from her own condition as a refugee from Nazi Germany--her loneliness while living in a small Stockholm flat with her elderly mother; her exile, her alienation, her feelings of romantic bereavement; and her search for the divine. Forced onto a journey of endless change, Sachs created her own path forward. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom these sublime poems, she emerges as a visionary, one who harnesses language's essential power to create and transform our world. Joshua Weiner's translations (with Linda B. Parshall) are the first in more than half a century to elucidate Sachs's enduring poetic power and relevance.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Farrar, Straus and Giroux","offers":[{"title":"Flight and Metamorphosis | Nelly Sachs | Paperback | 9780374606435 | New | Poetry 1513141","offer_id":50567181828354,"sku":"1513141","price":34.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/71CCOcJEQdL.jpg?v=1790813322","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/flight-and-metamorphosis","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
