About this title

Synopsis:

Ernst Jandl, born in Austria in 1925, is the most widely known of contemporary Austrian poets; Michael Hamburger is the most respected translator of German literature in the world today. This dual-language collection shows Jandl's poems to be very accessible and often humorous. Hamburger's Introduction places Jandl and his work in the context of contemporary literature and outlines the poetic processes as Jandl sees them.
