Erich Fried
this site contains the german originals
& my own translations
i hope despite of my incomplete english
you get the confusing depth
of Erich Fried's verses
born 06 may 1921 / died 22 nov 1988
i've started to think with Erich Fried
the extent of his work is immense, most known are political & love poems,
i liked in the past rather the short & pointed sentenses & circular constructed verses,
now i esteem also reflections about the all day life
you find here just few of his pieces
i translated those into english to make his work more known in the world
i would be glad, if you would find yourself curious about more poems by Erich Fried
you find them, where good books usually can be found
few pictures here & a lot of further links & infos
