	Rosmarie Waldrop
		Waldrop completed her undergraduate study at the University of Freiburg in 1958, and on 17 December of that year, having been accepted into the graduate program in comparative literature at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, she traveled to the United States with the intention of making her life there.
		Waldrop herself characterizes these early poems as "fairly conservative," attributing the cautious formal approach to her youthful obedience to preexisting models and her misplaced orientation toward the narrowly semantic dimensions of a poem.
		Waldrop's own work as a translator continues to garner recognition; she received a National Endowment for the Arts translator's fellowship in 1993 (having already received an NEA fellowship for her creative work in 1980) and was awarded the prestigious Harold Morton Landon Translation Award in 1994.

	Lavish Absence - Rosmarie Waldrop
		Rosmarie Waldrop is Edmond Jabès' translator, the person most responsible for so much of his work appearing in English.
		Waldrop first met him only in 1971 (after she had started translating The Book of Questions (immediately turned down by twenty American publishers she submitted it to)), but a close personal and working relationship developed.
		Rosmarie Waldrop was born in Germany in 1935 and has lived in the United States since 1958.

	Powell's Books - Lavish Absence: Recalling and Rereading Edmond Jabhs by Rosmarie Waldrop
		Rosmarie Waldrop is a predominant poet, translator, editor of contemporary poetry and poetics.
		Waldrop, who has been his primary translator for several decades, provides us with a touching account of her experience as translator and friend.
		Lavish Absence is a book-length essay with a triple focus: it is a memoir of Jabès as Waldrop knew him, it is both an homage to and an explication of Jabès?s work, and it is a meditation on the process of translation.

	double change
		Keith Waldrop's deadpan anecdotes from school days, tales of his teaching career, and stories of encounters with France's greatest literary minds harmonize with Rosmarie's simultaneously intimate and oblique narrative of her growth from a child in Nazi Germany into the intellectually imposing figure she is today-in a little under 100 pages.
		Waldrop's likeable modesty also asserts itself through a playfulness that casts his work into a sharper light, revealing it as more intellectually flirtatious than it would seem to be.
		Rosmarie gives a tantalizing and lively portrait of the life she and Keith have led, in which such literary figures as Edmond Jabès, Claude Royet-Journoud, Anne-Marie Albiach, and George Oppen have entered and exited, each leaving their own peculiar mark.

	REVIEWS
		Rosmarie's epigraph ("Poetry is having nothing to say and saying it: we possess nothing" - John Cage) is equally pertinent to her autobiography; the presence of subjects and objects is not such a given, and therefore (perhaps) the emphasis is placed on action and movement.
		Waldrop moves towards the subject of his family; refreshingly, it is a seemingly angst-free subject.
		Waldrop's maturation as a writer seems to coincide with her desire to be outside not only someone else's canon, but also her own body (an early book is titled The Road Is Everywhere or Stop This Body).

	Splendid: Departments: Bookshelf: Ceci n'est pas Keith, Ceci n'est pas Rosmarie
		Having already exalted Keith's section beyond my ability to fairly praise it, let's start with Rosmarie's more somber latter section, in which I was especially fascinated by her account of life in Germany as a child during WW2.
		Initial books were made the old-fashioned way -- where Rosmarie set type by hand, etc -- and she describes this laborious process as a great way to become "extremely aware of any excess 'fat' in writing" (77).
		For example, when Keith and wife Rosmarie had no other place than the kitchen or bathroom to put books, they moved to the bathroom all books with "something in title or author to suggest that locus" (19).

	Silliman's Blog
		Rosmarie Waldrop’s memoir is the perfect counterpoint to Perloff’s because Rosmarie Sebald, four years Perloff’s junior, has had something akin to a parallel life, with some profound differences.
		Rosmarie Waldrop’s avant-garde is only occasionally American, but is rather a more broadly defined international weaving of like-minded artists.
		Rosmarie’s Americanization is as much the process of becoming an artist as becoming an American – again that age difference between Perloff and Waldrop yields different results, tho here it is because Perloff was so much younger when she made the transition.

	Rosmarie Waldrop Biography \| Dictionary of Literary Biography
		Rosmarie Waldrop's contribution to post-1945 American poetry is formidable.
		The author of ten books of poetry, numerous chapbooks, and two novels, Waldrop is also an award-winning translator (most notably of Edmond Jabès's work) and, along with her husband, Keith Waldrop, the publisher of one of the most persistently adventurous of America's independent presses, Burning Deck, now in its third decade of operation.
		Her work has received international recognition, especially in France and Germany, and is increasingly discussed in this country both in the context of the contemporary avant-garde and also in the context of feminist writing, where her name is often linked to those of Lyn Hejinian, Susan Howe, Barbara Guest, Leslie Scalapino, and Mei-mei Berssenbrugge.

	Jacket 23 - Hank Lazer reviews "Lavish Absence" (on Jabès) by Rosmarie Waldrop
		Rosmarie Waldrop’s Lavish Absence is an extraordinary mixture of reminiscence, a study of the writing of the poet Edmond Jabès, reflections on the nature of poetry and translation, and a somewhat autobiographical piece of writing that gives us occasional glimpses into Waldrop’s own development as a writer.
		Waldrop writes of Jabès: “His aim is not to invert the traditional hierarchy of sense over sound, but to establish parity between them, or, rather, to establish a dynamic relation between language and thinking, where the words do not express pre-existing thoughts, but where their physical characteristics are allowed to lead to new thoughts” (70).
		In response to a friend’s mentioning of a Chinese tradition of mourning for one year, Waldrop ends her book with the admission, “I myself have a messier sense of mourning, that it is perhaps never done altogether, that is, like memory for Aristotle, a delayed motion that continues to exist in the soul” (155).

	Blindsight - Rosmarie Waldrop
		Waldrop's poems read well, but too much seems wilfully kept at a distance.
		Waldrop notes that "major sources" for the collection include everything from Angela Carter's Saints and Strangers to Hans Reichenbach's The Philosophy of Space and Time, but the connexion is not made obvious to the casual reader.
		It's perhaps a sign of success, that she's covered her influences so well, and yet so much is so obviously referential that the reader may well feel left out.

	Jacket 31 - October 2006 - Ben Lerner: «Curves to the Apple», by Rosmarie Waldrop
		I am glossing the interrelated but incommensurate world-pictures that form the backdrop of Rosmarie Waldrop’s Curves to the Apple, which gathers her trilogy of prose poems (published separately as The Reproduction of Profiles, Lawn of Excluded Middle, and Reluctant Gravities) into a single volume.
		Waldrop’s poetry explores and explodes the governing dichotomies of Western thought: subject and object, mind and body, reason and emotion, etc. The prose poem — itself a collapsed binary — formalizes the instability of such oppositions.
		My claim is not, of course, that Waldrop should be congratulated for knowing her continental theory.

	Station Hill Reviews -- Peter Cole
		Rosmarie Waldrop "looks at the cracks between shards," finding the meters that hold them together and the meter-making argument that illuminates their inspired collation.
		Rosmarie Waldrop's haunting novel, superbly intelligent, evocative and strange, reverberates in the memory for a long time, a song for the dead, a judgment.
		In probing the longings, dissatisfactions, betrayals in the life of a German family, it is Germany itself -- its ambivalence in regard to its unresolved past -- that is being examined in Rosmarie Waldrop's supremely intelligent novel.

		While all translation is re-creation, the translation of poetry must convey image, mood, cadence, and concentrated subtlety.
		In this regard, Waldrop's fine translation is a tribute to Roubaud's rich and often lyrical meditation on death.
		On the surface these prose poems are an expression of the poet's grief at his wife's premature demise.
