Bertolt Brecht Poems (Bertolt Brecht Plays, Poetry and Prose)

A collection of nearly five hundred poems includes austere free verse on urban themes, sonnets, ballads, satires, long narratives, epigrams, political poems, and poems on the theatre. Eugen Berthold Friedrich Brecht (1898-1956), known professionally as Bertolt Brecht, was a German theatre practitioner, playwright, and poet. Living in Munich during the Weimar Republic, he had his first successes with theatre plays, whose themes were often influenced by his Marxist thought. He was the main proponent of the genre named epic theatre (which he preferred to call 'dialectical theatre'). During the Nazi period and World War II he lived in exile, first in Scandinavia and then in the United States. Returning to East Berlin after the war, he established the theatre company Berliner Ensemble with his wife and long-time collaborator, actress Helene Weigel.

Always aware that he was living in an alien culture, these poems from Erich Fried (1921–1988) reflect the sensitivities of a Jew who could not accept an Israel that persecuted others; and who was grateful to the country that had given him shelter and protection from the Nazis despite the great number of matters that made him unsettled in England. Although Fried moved between two cultural worlds, he never lost touch with his native tongue and its literature. Collected here are moving and questioning poems about the Holocaust as well as his work on Vietnam and Chile, which illustrates his ability to combine depth of feeling with a strong grasp of political realties.

Oneworld Classics

This expansive volume presents a selection of Erich Fried's previously unpublished poems in English. Fried's poetry holds some of the most tender lines of poetry in any language. The universal theme of humanity and the various issues that perplex the human race are all presented in these works. A stoic who could find humor and an optimistic message in every aspect of human life, Fried's depth of vision and humility is both refreshing and consoling.

Love Poems

Poems in this collection come from several volumes published in the German between 1969-78. Stuart Hood wrote-- "Fried's poetry is remarkable because it expresses a spectrum of feeling in which there is no dividing line between the political and the personal". Fried was a radical unattached to any party or ideology "Hear O Israel/ when we were the persecuted/ I was one of you/ How can I remain one when you become the persecutors" This volume won the Prix des Sept in 1978.

This bilingual edition – with English translations by Stuart Hood, his long-term friend and colleague at the BBC – enables the reader to get a flavour of the original of these immensely enjoyable and enlightening poems.
