Double Life

Corvallis, Oregon: Plutarch Press, 2002. 1st Edition. Soft cover. New. 0x0x0. First American translation of the complete work. "We may subtitle Gottfried Benn's 'Double Life,' 'Poetry and the Will to Survive.' These are words that acquire an absolute meaning whenever we awake to the follies and the hideousness that are forced on us and the drive to destroy which seizes so many of us, often with irreversible results. Gottfried Benn (1886-1956) gives courage rather than comfort in distress. New copy from publisher's overstock, multiples available at time of entry. Trade paperback.
