Sebald called his \"micropoems\"--miniatures as unclassifiable as all of his works--with thirty-three exquisitely exact lithographs by one of his oldest friends, the acclaimed artist Jan Peter Tripp.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The lithographs portray, with stunning precision, pairs of eyes--the eyes of Beckett, Borges, Proust Jasper Johns, Francis Bacon, Tripp, Sebald, Sebald's dog Maurice. Brief as haiku, the poems are epiphanic and anti-narrative. What the author calls \"time lost, the pain of remembering, and the figure of death\" here find a small home. The art and poems do not explain one another, but rather engage in a kind of dialogue. \"The longer I look at the pictures of Jan Peter Tripp,\" Sebald comments in his essay, \"the better I understand that behind the illusions of the surface, a dread-inspiring depth is concealed. It is the metaphysical lining of reality, so to speak.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHamburger, Michael:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Michael Hamburger (1924-2007) wrote many collections of poetry and criticism.
