Overview
Poems in this collection come from several volumes published in the German between 1969-78. Stuart Hood wrote: "Fried's poetry is remarkable because it expresses a spectrum of feeling in which there is no dividing line between the political and the personal". Fried was a radical unattached to any party or ideology "Hear O Israel/ when we were the persecuted/ I was one of you/ How can I remain one when you become the persecutors" This volume won the Prix des Sept in 1978.Editorials

Poetry collections certainly will want Hood's inspired renditions. In a partly bilingual edition....done in collaboration with the author. Fried, a Jew from Vienna living in London, has a political concern that covers a range of international issues and attitudes; a poetical voice of infallible distinction, energy, and with; and a rare measure of wisdom rooted in Marxist humanism.— Library Journal
