Even in Germany, the true scope and force of Bertolt Brecht s
poetry did not become apparent until long after his death in 1956,
and even today, so many of his more than 2,000 poems have never
appeared in English. Love Poems, the first volume in a monumental
undertaking by David Constantine and Tom Kuhn to translate his
poetic legacy into English, positions Brecht, the author of Mother
Courage and The Threepenny Opera, not merely as one of the most
famous playwrights of the twentieth century but also as a fiercely
creative twentieth-century poet, one of the best in the whole of
German literature. With a personal foreword by his own daughter,
Barbara Brecht-Schall, Love Poems features 78 astonishing and
deeply personal love poems many addressed to particular women that
reveal Brecht as lover and love poet whose bitter struggle to keep
faith, hope, and love alive during desperate times represents the
essence of human relationships."
