"This comprehensive selection from Ernst Barlach's complete poetic works aims to provide the reader with a work that is one of the belated discoveries of our century in the field of literature: in terms of rank, fullness and originality, it is one of the great achievements in the German language, on a par with Barlach's artistic work. The texts reproduced here are based on the three-volume complete edition published by Piper Verlag...The selection offers the main pieces of Barlach's poetry and at the same time aims to make certain stages of its development visible."
