A rare and beautifully produced 'accordion' book by renowned novelist and poet Anne Michaels and acclaimed artist and writer Bernice Eisenstein that will cause a stir for both its form and its content.Anne Michaels's resonant booklength poemwhich unfolds on one side of the pages of this accordion bookranges from the universal to the intimate, as she writes of historical figures for whom language was the closest thing to salvation; on the other side, we have Bernice Eisenstein's luminous portraits of and quotes from such twentiethcentury writers and thinkers as Paul Celan, Nelly Sachs, W. G. Sebald, Anna Akhmatova, Primo Levi, and Albert Einstein. The poetry and portraits join together in a dialogue that can be read in any direction and any order, in a format that perfectly reflects the thematic interconnectedness of this collaboration: 'an alphabet of spirits and spirit; an elegy of remembrance' (Eisenstein); 'just as a conversation becomes the third side of the page . . . the moment one life becomes another' (Michaels).
