This book by Anna Lange introduces a remarkable ars poetica, expressed in a choice from her correspondence with Anselm Kiefer and a variety of images such as the etched and painted Chartae Xeniae and two poignent photo-series. In the backcover you find a DVD with six short movie-poems that were shown worldwide. The disc also contains the lyrical composition Louis Andriessen wrote for the triptych Xenia.
