Description: A dazzling selection of more than one hundred poems that trace the development of Durs GrA?ÂLnbeinA?s work over the past two decades. Born in Dresden in 1962, Durs GrA?ÂLnbein is the most significant and successful poet of his generation in Germany. Since 1988, when the then-twenty-five-year-old burst onto the scene with his poetry collection Grauzone morgensA?a mordant reckoning with the East Germany he grew up inA?GrA?ÂLnbein has published more than thirty books of poetry and prose, which have been translated into dozens of languages.

Psyche Running picks up where that volume left off and offers a selection of poems from his nine subsequent collections, which shows how GrA?ÂLnbein has developed from his ironic take on the classical into an elegiac exploration of history through dream fragments and poems with a haunting existential unease.
