Darkness Spoken collects Ingeborg Bachmann's two celebrated books of poetry, as well as early and late poems not collected in book form. Considered one of the premiere poets of her generation, Bachmann was awarded the Georg Büechner Prize, the Berlin Critics Prize, the Bremen Award, and the Austrian State Prize for Literature. This second revised edition contains 136 poems released from Bachmann's archives that had never been translated, including seven early poems published posthumously that appear here in translation for the first time. Twenty-five of these poems only appear in German in Darkness Spoken, making it the most complete volume of her poetry in English and German. Roughly a quarter of the poems in this collection have benefitted from revisions done for the greater clarity, better syntax, or more consistent rhythm. Continued biographical research by Peter Filkins on Bachmann has allowed him to draw even closer to the poems and appreciate more deeply their context and meaning since the book's first publication in 2006.
