Books by Else Lasker-Schuler

Presents an English translation of Lasker-Schuler's prose - "Concert", which was one of the last books published by a Jew in Germany before Hitler came to power. It contains pieces that vary greatly in theme, mood, length, and complexity, yet they are unified by the medium and by the distinct and lyrical personality of the artist.

The poems collected in this bilingual volume represent the full range of Else Lasker-Schuler's work, from her earliest poems until her death. Haxton's translation embraces the poems' lyrical imagery, remaining faithful to the poet's vision while also capturing the cadence and rhythms of the poetry.
