Description
Georg Trakl's Poems and Prose is a comprehensive English-language edition of his work, offering readers a chance to engage with this influential Austrian poet in depth. Trakl's poetry is marked by its intense inner vision and originality, and explores themes of spiritual and social disintegration in the years leading up to the First World War. Trakl's distinctive tone is autumnal and melancholy, reflecting his patron Ludwig Wittgenstein's philosophical views. His rich, sensuous poetry can be seen as a key moment in the transition from impressionism to expressionism. This bilingual edition provides the most comprehensive access to Trakl's work yet, allowing readers to appreciate its complexity and depth. With 192 pages of verse and prose, this edition is an essential introduction to Trakl's oeuvre for anyone interested in modernist poetry.
