| biography:
| Writer, born in Munich, SE Germany. The son of an artist, he studied law, philosophy, economics, and history of art before becoming a full-time writer. He is known particularly for his witty poetry, full of fantastic word play and imagery, such as Galgenlieder (1905), Palmström (1910), Palma Kunkel (1916), and Der Gingganz (1919). Influenced by Nietzsche, Rudolf Steiner, and Buddhism, he also wrote serious works which had a significant influence on modern poetry. |
