The book "Georg Trakl - Poems"

Georg Trakl (1887–1914) was an Austrian German-language poet, one of the representatives of German expressionism. Trakl studied in Salzburg and Vienna, where he began to write and publish poems and plays, including for the fashionable magazine Der Brenner among creative youth. There he led a bohemian life and became addicted to cocaine and alcohol.
With the outbreak of World War I, he joined the Austro-Hungarian Army, where he served in a field hospital. During the fighting in Galicia, Trakl, overwhelmed by the number of wounded whom he could not help, attempted suicide. On November 3, 1914, Trakl took his own life in a Krakow hospital by taking a lethal dose of morphine.
This collection includes selected poems by Trakl.
