Christa Reinig's Books

Christa writes clearly, concisely and unequivocallyA . . . describes an intimacy and an idyll . . . [that] startles not only men, but women as well."- EMMA Magazine "Christa writes for women and against femininity. Her approach is blunt and unapologetic. . . . As she sees it, there is a war going on and women's lives are at stake. . . . In such times, she insists, feminism must be uncompromising and tough, not gentle and sentimental. . . . Her texts have the simplicity of a weapon directed straight at its target, a tool honed to precision, a language in which all ballast has been cast off."-Angelika Bammer Written as a journal, these poems accompany two older lesbians through a year together. Tender, humorous, fearful, critical and angry in turn, the prize-winning German poet Christa Reinig speaks of her love, dreams, and fears. She looks with pitiless eyes at her gynophobic society and imagines a past and future matriarchy while questioning the direction of the German women's movement. A poetic saga.
