Summary:

"Kerstin Hensel is one of the most prolific, versatile and influential authors in contemporary Germany. Her unique literary voice owes as much to her character, background and biography as it does to its dialogic openness to other voices. This is the first book to examine in detail Hensel's correspondences and interactions with other authors as well as with literary schools, traditions, and models, delineating her various intertextual practices. Covering all literary genres, the volume provides both overviews and close readings of selected texts. It finishes with a part on translation which includes English versions of a cross-section of her poems"-- Provided by publisher
