A comprehensive English-language edition of verse by the Austrian
poet
An undeniable aura surrounds the name of Georg Trakl, a poet of
intense inner vision and originality whose work stands alongside
that of Yeats, Valery, and T. S. Eliot. Besides Rilke, his more
famous admirers include Karl Kraus and Martin Heidegger. The
distinctive tone of Trakl's work-especially admired by his patron
Ludwig Wittgenstein-is autumnal and melancholy. Trakl was writing
at a time of spiritual and social disintegration on the eve of the
First World War, when personal values and perceptions tended to be
subsumed in a more generalized anguish and exaltation.
Neo-romantic, early modernist, his rich, vitally sensuous poetry
can be seen to mark the transition from impressionism to
expressionism, but at the same time transcends such categories.
Trakl's poetry has previously only been available in English in
short selections or in anthologies. This bilingual edition, the
most comprehensive to date, gives readers the chance to get to know
Trakl's work more fully than ever before.
