"Chosen [from 'Die Dichtungen', published by Otto Müller Verlag in Salzburg] and translated by James Wright and Robert Bly. With introductions by the translators." "Trakl is a supreme example of patience and bravery, and the worlds which these virtues enabled him to explore, and whose inhabitants he so faithfully describes, are places of great fullness and depth. His poems are not objects to be used and then cast aside, but entrances into places where deep, silent labors go on."
