Abstract:
While a number of the poems in this collection have been included in other collections, tranlator James Reidel argues that this particular book deserves to stand on its own and be read as one piece, as Trakl intended. Only by donig this can we begin to see Trakl in his proper time and place, as an early modern poet whose words nonetheless continue to exert a powerful hold on us while we make our way through a new, uncharted century.
