Description: Sandscript by Jose Oliver, Marc James Mueller Olivers poems explore the foreignness outside and the foreignness inside oneself, to teach his readers to live as the other. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description "Olivers dream of "an open language," which mixes the cadences and inflections of his Andalusian roots with the inventive possibilities of German, reminds us that foreignness is our true condition. He bridges ethnic and non-ethnic German in sandscript, which explores some of the same broken terrain mapped by another brave traveler in the language, Paul Celan, and what he encounters line by line is a self that is at once foreign and familiar: "my poem my word." Here is the work of a man who is German and still not German, Spanish and still not Spanish, on the move: Me. You will find him everywhere." -Christopher Merrill, author of NecessitiesJose F.A.
