"An essential survey . . . Melin provides an excellent introduction . . . This is perhaps the most comprehensive and intelligently produced survey available." —Publishers Weekly
An ambitious bilingual anthology of postwar German poetry.
Offering new translations of poetry written in German between 1945 and 1990, this book includes poems by nearly 100 poets from throughout the German speaking area: Germany (East and West), Austria, and Switzerland. Arranged by decade of appearance, the poems represent a broad range of the literary movements, trends, and major themes that characterized German literature between the end of the Second World War and reunification.
