In cities strange and yet weirdly familiar, women watched by monstrous demons give birth to headless infants, vast gods straddle apartment blocks and gaze balefully out on an urban hell, and the savage giant War dances wildly on the mountains while a mighty city sinks into an abyss. The poet Georg Heym saw what we have all come to see, and it was not long after his death in 1912 that readers heard in him a prophet. These poems rich in images of the city and war, of death and decay, for which Heym is best known, have their place in this book, the first volume of Heym's work to appear in English. But here too are poems haunted by other spirits: sonnets of a chill formal perfection offer vignettes of the French Revolution and its Napoleonic aftermath; others are shaped by a rich and strange mixture of classical antiquity and the Gothic macabre; others still, among Heym's later works, are some of the finest love poems and elegies ever to be written in the German language.

The name of Rainer Maria Rilke is familiar to many English readers, and that of Georg Trakl only somewhat less so. But the age during which these two poets lived was one marked by many other worthy poets in the German language. This book, then, seeks to give these other figures, several of them women, the wider audience they deserve, while also showcasing their own—as well as Rilke’s and Trakl’s, keen and sensitive responses to nature throughout the seasons of the year.Other poets featured include Paul Boldt, Theodor Däubler, Max Dauthendey, Paula Dehmel, Richard Dehmel, Felix Dörmann, Stefan George, Georg Heym, Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Friederike Kempner, Hedwig Lachmann, Detlev von Liliencron, Ernst Wilhelm Lotz, Emerenz Meier, Clara Müller-Jahnke, Alfons Petzold, Gustav Renner, Joachim Ringelnatz, Anna Ritter, Heinrich Seidel, Ernst Stadler, Josef Weinheber, Maria Luise Weissmann, and Paul Zech.

An English-language translation of the complete published stories of Georg Heym (1887-1912). There are seven in all, with subjects ranging from social revolt to insanity, disease to unrequited love. These stories of madness, horror, and a variety of other extreme states, have become classics of German Expressionist prose.

On first reading these seven stories, about contagious disease, social revolt, unhappy love, and the criminally insane, their eventual publisher expressed fears that the grim nature of their subjects would put off potential readers. Georg Heym replied that his subjects had chosen him as much as he had chosen them. This special, compulsive relationship with his material is reflected in the mesmeric, spellbinding character of the stories which have become classics of German Expressionist prose, the equivalent in their violent imagery of the Expressionist paintings of the time, prefiguring the great era of Expressionist film that was to follow. On publication they were compared to the tales of Edgar Allan Poe and the prose pieces of Baudelaire, and they have been acclaimed ever since for their power and formal beauty.
