About this edition

A complete edition of the surviving works of Georg Trakl (1887–1914), translated in a single voice with the German alongside.

What's here

Every surviving poem of Trakl — the 1913 Gedichte, the posthumous Sebastian im Traum, and Grodek — in order of appearance, each with the German facing the English and a headnote, plus the glossary, chronology, and cross-reference apparatus.

From the German

Every translation was produced by reading the German text directly, not by copying or adapting any prior edition. The German comes from open scholarly sources.

How to use this

Read straight through in chronological order, or jump by book or by year; follow any name — the sister, Helian, Sebastian — into the glossary, and use the facing German to check a line against the original.
