Georg Trakl:
POEMS

"Trakl's poems have astonished generations of readers with their fierce sadnesses, deceptive complexity, and subtle elegance. Stephen Tapscott's translations are a marvel, capturing in English the vitality of Trakl's silences; his lean, succinct poetic lines; his grim wit; and his quest for the ineffable in the face of often harrowing circumstances. I have long admired Georg Trakl's poetry and, with the help of Tapscott's nuanced introduction and fine translations, I read it in fresh and startling ways."
--Kevin Prufer
