New post at my Substack, about one of Georg Heym’s most violent poems, “Demons of the Cities,” written not long before his untimely death at age 24.

Got this neat trio of 1968 German books in—all of Georg Heym's poetry and plays. Really great art, photos, and fold-out scans of his correspondence, too. Superbly doomy poet of whom I’ve written elsewhere, died at age 24.

New writing. About the tragic young poet Georg Heym, whose death in 1912 at age 24 stunned and then inspired the burgeoning German Expressionist movement. Heym’s poetry is overwhelmingly nightmarish.
