Selected Poems
A poet first and foremost, Bertolt Brecht's genius was for language. However, because this language is built upon a certain bold and direct simplicity, his plays often lose something in the translation from his native German. Nevertheless, they contain a rare poetic vision, a voice that has rarely been paralleled in the 20th century.Other Works by Bertolt BrechtBertolt Brecht: Collected Short StoriesBertolt Brecht: Journals 1934-1955Bertolt Brecht: Poems 1913-1956Brecht on Theatre: The Development of an AestheticCollected StoriesEverything ChangesManual of Piety
