![]() Quote of the Day
Carcanet has always been the place to look for considerations of purely literary and intellectual merit. Its list relies on the vision and the faith and the energy of people who care about books, and values. It is thus as rare as it is invaluable.

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 |
