Publisher Marketing: Hilde Domin was one of the most highly regarded German poets of the 20th century. Her work was deeply influenced by her time in exile and loss of homeland. A poet of the Jewish faith, she fled political developments in Germany in 1932 and spent more than twenty years of her life in various countries including the Dominican Republic, which became her self-chosen namesake. After returning home to Germany from exile she became known as the "poet of return" and received numerous honors for her literary work, including the Carl Zuckmayer Medal, the Nelly Sachs Prize, and the Grand Federal Cross of Merit. The Wandering Radiance is a selection of poems that spans decades. Presented bilingually, many of these poems appear here for the first time in English, brilliantly translated by Mark S. Burrows.
