"""These poems construct a most personal, subtle, and affecting autobiography. They are intense, emotional and yet do not yield to our voyeuristic nature. Together these poems offer what the best impressionistic painters offered, a concentration on the underlying constituent parts of reality and a retention of intimacy."" -- Percival Everett ""Hannah Arendt’s poems bear out her belief that poetry itself is a kind of thinking. Aphoristic, intuitive, and often surprising in their immediacy, they will interest every reader of her major work. ‘Poetic language,’ she wrote, ‘is a place, not a refuge.’ These poems—finely translated and with conscientious notes by Samantha Rose Hill—allow us to enter a place that resembles no other."" -- David Bromwich ""Hannah Arendt never stopped thinking deep and hard whatever new realities she faced: exile, totalitarianism, grief, love. These poems show her wresting her innermost thoughts into form. They are a revelation. Beautifully translated and ‘thought’ by Samantha Rose Hill and Genese Grill, What Remains is an essential addition to our understanding of this complex, fearless, and ever more relevant writer."" -- Lyndsey Stonebridge"
