  Expressionism gave rise to some of the most dynamic and emotionally challenging imagery of the modern period. But it was not just in the visual arts that Expressionism manefested itself. Its literary masterpieces remain among the best-kept secrets of European cultural history. Here, for the first time, is a representative anthology of some of the very best poems from the Expressionist era, from Wassily Kandinsky to Egon Schiele and Else Lasker-Schuler.
