After Brecht by Wolf Biermann
Bertolt Brecht's life as a dramatist, poet and polemicist has inspired writers from all over the world. This anthology, published to mark the fiftieth anniversary of his death in August 1956, brings together English translations of poems by German poets who have responded to his remarkable legacy. The poems demonstrate how Brecht's concerns and his unique diction have become a part of the very stuff of modern poetry. This work includes poems by Wolf Biermann, Hans Magnus Enzensberger, Paul Celan, Peter Huchel and Heinrich Boll. It also includes translations by David Constantine, Ian Fairley, Michael Hamburger, Michael Hofmann and Karen Leeder.
Karen Leeder is a Fellow and Tutor in German at New College Oxford. She has published and translated widely in modern German literature, including the poetry of Bertolt Brecht, Michael Kruger, Brigitte Oleschinski and Raoul Schrott. Her translations of Evelyn Schlag, Selected Poems, published by Carcanet in 2004, won the 2005 Schlegel-Tieck Prize for Translation from German.
