Your Diamond Dreams Cut Open My Arteries : Poems by Else Lasker-Schüler (University of North Carolina Studies in Germanic Languages and Literature)

Critics have called Else Lasker-Schuler the greatest of all German women poets and one of the finest Jewish poets. This large and representative selection of translations by Robert P. Newton, supplemented by a biographical and critical introduction and a selected bibliography, was the first substantial presentation of her works in English at its original publication in 1982.
