Young Poets of Germany
An Anthology
Description:... Like the language itself, there persists a notional unity of literature written in German, despite political boundaries and ideological differences. The twenty-seven poets featured in this anthology, born between 1952 and 1962, include eighteen from the Federal Republic, seven from the former G.D.R., one from Switzerland and one from Austria. Wry, laconic, full of a sense of loss or deprivation, these diverse and dissenting voices are characterised by a feeling of displacement and dislocation.
