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).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anne Michaels\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0307962490\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780307962492\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Knopf Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/03\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.34h x 6.41w x 0.94d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2014 pg. 116","brand":"Anne Michaels","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46172930244863,"sku":"9780307962492","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6ac4a629-5114-4aca-987d-9fc7d2cf79f7.jpg?v=1727179508","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/correspondences-anne-michaels-9780307962492","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
