Yvan Goll – författare

Published in France in 1951 and appearing for the first time in English, this volume also reproduces the eight drawings by Marc Chagall that appeared in the original. "Goll loved a real woman...it may be that Goll will be remembered most for these ...love poems unique in modern poetry..." -- Paul Zweig.

"Goll was in the avant-garde of various literary scenes. A central figure in the German world of Dada and Expressionism in Berlin; a founder alongside Eulard and Apollinaire of the French Surrealist movement in Paris; friend and collaborator with Picasso, Leger, Dali, Braque, Chagall, Tanguy and James Joyce; playwright and precursor to Ionesco’s “Theatre of the Absurd,” and Artaud’s “Theatre of Cruelty”; the celebrated editor of Hemispheres magazine in the U.S. and friends of William Carlos Williams, James Laughlin of New Directions, and Kenneth and Miriam Patchen, among others."
