Poems -- Hermann Hesse

<p>Few American readers seem to be aware that Hermann Hesse, author of the epic novels <i>Steppenwolf </i>and <i>Siddhartha</i>, among many others, also wrote poetry, the best of which the poet James Wright has translated and included in this book. This is a special volume--filled with short, direct poems about love, death, loneliness, the seasons--that is imbued with some of the imagery and feeling of Hesse's novels but that has a clarity and resonance all its own, a sense of longing for love and for home that is both deceptively simple and deeply moving.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Hermann Hesse<br><b>Publisher:</b> Farrar, Straus and Giroux<br><b>Published:</b> 03/18/2008<br><b>Pages:</b> 96<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.25lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.10h x 5.40w x 0.30d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780374526412<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><p><b>Herman Hesse</b> (1877-1962) was a German poet and novelist.
