''This is the most comprehensive English translation of the work of Günter Eich, one of the greatest postwar German poets. The author of the POW poem “Inventory,” among one of the most famous lyrics in the German language, Eich was rivaled [sic] only by Paul Celan as the leading poet in the generation after Gottfried Benn and Bertolt Brecht. Expertly translated and introduced by Michael Hofmann, this collection gathers eighty poems, many drawn from Eich’s later work and most of them translated here for the first time. The volume also includes the original German texts on facing pages.'' - Publisher.
