"With Brecht, Benn, Bobrowski and Celan, Peter Huchel is one of a
handful of essential post-war poets in the German language. A
precise observer of natural phenomena, Huchel is above all a
realist whose metaphors take us deep into the social and historical
landscape, into zones of devastation and despair, the zero-hour of
isolation. His world is devoid of illusion or sentimentality; there
is no redemption, at most an exactitude that is itself a
confirmation of what is human and real. Lifted out of the
schismatic currents of the Cold War era by Martyn Crucefix's supple
and arrestingly sensual translations, Huchel surprises us as a
fresh and startling voice for our own numbered days." --Iain
Galbraith
