The German-Jewish political philosopher Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
is world-renowned for her work on totalitarianism, the human
condition, and the banality of evil. Not many people know that she
also wrote poems—yet the language of poetry, especially that of
Goethe and Schiller, was a banister for Arendt’s thinking
throughout much of her adult life. Between 1923 and 1961, Arendt
wrote seventy-four poems, many of them acting as signposts in her
biography, marking moments of great joy, love, loss, melancholia,
and remembrance. Now, for the first time in English, Samantha Rose
Hill and Genese Grill present these intensely personal poems in
chronological order, taking us from the zenith of the Weimar
Republic to the Cold War, and from Marburg, Germany, to New York,
New York. A gift to all readers of Arendt, this stunning en face
edition provides an unparalleled view into the private life of one
of the most definitive thinkers of the twentieth century.
Hannah Arendt is one of the most renowned political thinkers of the
twentieth century and her work has never been more relevant than it
is today. Born in Germany in 1906, Arendt published her first book
at the age of 23, before turning away from the world of academic
philosophy to reckon with the rise of the Third Reich. After the
War, Arendt became one of the most prominent - and controversial -
public intellectuals of her time, publishing influential works such
as The Origins of Totalitarianism, The Human Condition and Eichmann
in Jerusalem. Samantha Rose Hill weaves together new biographical
detail, archival documents, poems and correspondence to reveal a
woman whose passion for the life of the mind was nourished by her
love of the world.

This book came together with the help of many members of the
Langley Hill community, past and present. They shared their lived
experience of our early history as a meeting, their memories of our
life as a community, and their first-hand knowledge of our witness.
Any work of this kind owes a final clear debt to a single source:
to the promptings of the Spirit, who nudged so many of us to set
down this history. It is, finally, a love story - the story, so
far, of that Spirit and Langley Hill Meeting.
