The volume traces the poet’s development and signature style—verve, wit, vivid imagery, and a refusal of solemn, sententious gestures—while also emphasizing the coexistence of grotesque playfulness with serious political and moral commitment. The contents draw from multiple Grass collections published in 1956 and 1960, with notes on translation

GRASSSelected Poems  \nWith translations from the German byMICHAEL HAMBURGER and  CHRISTOPH3R MDDLETON  \nGUNTER GRASSSelected Poems  \nT WAS The Tin Drum that establishedGünter Grass's international reputa-tion,but in Germany he first emergedas a sculptor,draughtsman,experi-mental dramatist,and poet.His twocollections of poems were published in1956 and 1960,both books with draw-ings by Grass.Their distinction is notonly equal to that of his prose,but veryclosely akin to it.His poems have thesame verve,wit and vividness,the samedelight in the weirdness of ordinarythings,the same distrust of sententious-ness and solemnity.Yet,for all theirgrotesque playfulness,they are alsodeeply serious.Grass's powerful andinimitable imagination has enabled himto write politically and morally com-mitted poems that are innocent of anyobvious design on the reader.Even hismetaphysical poems are full of fun,and their point is made in terms ofimages and situations that appeal to usin their own right.  \nThis selection in German with,forthe first time,English translation in-cludes poems from both of GünterGrass's collections.Not all his poemsare translatable,since Grass is as fondof playing with ordinary words andidioms as he is of playing with ordinarythings.Yet this selection is representa-tive of his visual and thematic range asa poet.  \nA Helen and Kurt Wolff Book  \nHarcourt,Brace
