Description
This work is an anthology of the poems of Ernst Meister, described by Walter Jens as the tenderest epic poet imaginable. An inveterate outsider, from the start he was out of step, publishing his first book of what a reviewer called Kandinsky poetry months before the Nazis seized power. He might have been branded a degenerate poet with fatal consequences. After World War II, Meister re-emerged writing runic verse in the teeth of a coloquial, Brechtian orthoxoy which emphasized relevance and political definition.
