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).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51931541668128,"sku":"NEW0307962490","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/correspondences-a-poem-and-portraits-0307962490","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
