Rose Auslander Author

Rose Auslander, who died in 1988, was a Jewish German- and English language poet. She was born in Bucovina (on what is now the Romania/Ukraine border), and lived in U.S.A, Romania, and Germany. By the end of her life, she was recognised as one of the truest poets of post-war Germany, a woman and a witness in whom the dark and the light, the ashes and the hope, are so finely balanced that we hold our breath as we read.
