In the Storm of Roses: Selected Poems by Ingeborg Bachmann

In the Storm of Roses: Selected Poems by Ingeborg Bachmann

Ingeborg Bachmann
4.2/5 ( ratings)
THE PRESENT EDITION of Ingeborg Bachmann's poetry is based on the German edition of her collected works and includes all poems that could be successfully rendered into English . Poems from
Bachmann's youth , as well as i ntricately rhymed poems had to be omitted . This is unfortunate , for much of Bachmann's strength as a poet derives from her fusion of a contemporary idiom with a rigorously crafted , classical form . But the criterion for any verse translation must be that the poem work in its own language . This principle has guided the selection of the poems presented here . Several short prose works relating to Bachmann's poetry , as well as a biographical note and chronology , have been added as an appendix. They should facilitate access to her verse and may also whet the reader's taste for her prose works, few of which have been translated into English.
