"Now you can write whatever you like"

For decades Oskar Pastior has been regarded as one of the most original, productive and stylistically powerful German-speaking writers. It is high time, therefore, that this large but scattered œuvre be presented in all its diversity. This title now is program-matic: here you will find all the poems that Pastior wrote in the 1970s after his emigration from Romania to the West where his productivity was no longer limited by ideological restrictions. A rediscovery of books long out of print, complemented with texts not previously published in book format.
