Bilingual Edition -- German/English Hans Magnus Enzensberger is Germany's most important and influential living poet, a lightning rod in a stormy political and cultural landscape. (Translations of his Kiosk and Selected Poems have also been published by Sheep Meadow.) Having come of age after the Third Reich, Enzensberger builds his poetry upon tradition and titanic German wreckage. Always historical and provocative, his humanity dares to sport a sublime malice toward all and charity for few. His revelations have something in common with certain post-Renaissance painters, whose Madonnas are both spiritual and lascivious.
