Notes

  • Author's note: The poem 'Voyage to Sebaldia' is written in response to the works of W.G. Sebald. Mr. Sebald's works are a dreamlike amalgam of poetry, essay and novel. Superficially they inhabit the Europe of the late 20th century. His is a diffuse landscape where identity is continually lost in history, archaeology, artifact and porous meaning. Such exquisite writing, permeated by the impact of carnage on generations who were not present, and are compelled to find themselves through it!

    In this way, it is a separate country, but one more and more people may come to inhabit.
