The Poetry of SurvivalPost-war Poets of Central and Eastern EuropeBertolt Brecht, Vladimir Holan and Peter HuchelEdited by Daniel Weissbort
Daniel Weissbort’s anthology is an outstanding guide to the major poets who found a voice for the experience of survival. He focuses on the first post-war generation of Central and East European poets, who wrote in direct response to a war of unprecedented destruction in Europe. Their poetry, especially that of writers in the countries which came under Soviet domination, has both fascinated Western readers and has exercised a vital influence on many poets now writing in English. The poets: Yehuda Amichai – Ingeborg Bachmann – Johannes Bobrowski – Bertolt Brecht – Nina Cassian – Paul Celan – Hans Magnus Enzensberger – Jerzy Ficowski – Zbigniew Herbert – Vladimír Holan – Miroslav Holub – Peter Huchel – Tymoteusz Karpowicz – Edvard Kocbek – Reiner Kunze – Artur Miedzyrzecki – Slavko Mihalic – Czeslaw Milosz – Ágnes Nemes Nagy – Dan Pagis – János Pilinszky – Vasko Popa – Tadeusz Rózewicz – Nelly Sachs – Leopold Staff – Anna Swirszczynska – Wislawa Szymborska – Natan Zach |
