| biography:
| Poet, born in Büdeshein, W Germany. He studied in Paris, Munich, and Berlin, and travelled widely. In Germany he founded a literary group, and edited its journal. His poems show the influence of the French Symbolists, dispensing with punctuation and capitals, and conveying an impression rather than a simple meaning. In Das neue Reich (1928, The New Reich) he advocated a new German culture, not in accord with that of the Nazis. He exiled himself in 1933, and died in Switzerland. |
