Book synopsis

This title presents powerful new translations of this seminal figure in modern poetry.Friedrich Holderlin is one of the key figures of modern European literature. This comprehensive selection is taken from the important early period of his mature work and includes poems never before available in English. Hoff's translations render forcefully and directly the deep longing and heartbreak of Holderlin's poetic world; their open, pathos-filled rhythm and disarming clarity present Holderlin's powerful work as distinctive English poems. A bilingual edition, this book also includes informative annotations and translations of drafts and revisions that give deep insight into Holderlin's craft and process, shining new light on the unique poetic voice that continues to influence poetry and philosophy today.
