“Aesthetically and philosophically compelling, this poetry is stimulating, sonically rich, and semantically complex. Berget offers room for a persuasive and leavening tenderness that speaks to the wider vulnerability of all life, doing so in a way that never strikes this reader as naive or avoidant. Heart wrenching and yet unstinting, this book offers a good example of what Ray Brassier calls ‘the annihilating positivity of reason’ in the face of life’s inevitable extinction. Kathleen Maris Paltrinieri’s remarkable translation is as inventive, harrowing, and uplifting as the original.” —Gabriel Gudding, author of Literature for Nonhumans
