The title of the collection-a term borrowed from anatomy and transposed onto the area of human relations (one's relationship with oneself as well as with others)-should be read in the ambivalence which it spontaneously suggests: on the one hand, it is an opposition between  bodies, a you as an anti-I, both on the emotive and physical levels; and, on the other hand, now taken in its proper sense, it is antibodies which ensure healing.

Produktbeschreibung
The title of the collection-a term borrowed from anatomy and transposed onto the area of human relations (one's relationship with oneself as well as with others)-should be read in the ambivalence which it spontaneously suggests: on the one hand, it is an opposition between  bodies, a you as an anti-I, both on the emotive and physical levels; and, on the other hand, now taken in its proper sense, it is antibodies which ensure healing. The tension of this ambivalence forms the axis of the collection. However, a careful reader may notice a gradual change in tonality as the language becomes more elastic towards the second part of the book, the antithetical connotation giving way to the remedying one.
Autorenporträt
Alexandra Sashe is a bilingual poet. Born in Moscow in 1976, she studied painting and linguistics. In her mid-twenties she moved to Paris and began to write: at first, prose; then - as an essentialized way of living a language - poetry. The choice of the language, however, was neither her mother tongue (which quickly reverted to rudiments) nor yet French (which, penetrating ever deeper into her intimate being, would soon become her inner speech). Rather, it was the Language itself that had made its choice, as spontaneous as it seemed necessary: English. Alexandra Sashe is a bilingual poet.

Around the same time she moved to Austria and settled in Vienna. Shearsman Books published her second collection, Convalescence Dance, in 2018. Days of Earthly Exile is her third.
