Description:... Focusing on the poet as a witness who bears the double burden of survival and remembrance, Kathrin Bower argues that the "work of memory" achieved by Auslander and Sachs exemplifies the complexity of poetic reflection on trauma and history. A commonality in the lives of both poets was the strength of their bond to their mothers, a connection which had an enormous impact on their perceptions, relationships, and survival.".
