readbyamity's review against another edition
3.0
I received a copy of this book from Net Galley in exchange for my honest review.
Georg Trakl is an Austrian poet, his work has been translated to English a number of times.
This translation had some particularly wonderful poems, however, I did feel as though some of the poems seemed a little more disjointed than what I know of Trakl's poetry.
Reading this collection of poetry reminded me of the whimsy in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Nights Dream with the atmosphere of a dark ominous thriller.
Overall, I enjoyed the atmospheric tone to this collection and the connection to nature that seemed to inspire Trakl.
