I am about to publish a volume of Sorge's poetry, currently being translated into English by the poet John Gallas. Gallas is captivated by Sorge's writing and amazed that, other than the Beggar, his work is pretty much unknown, even in Germany. He must have been extraordinarily talented to have been able to produce the body of work he did before his death at the age of just 24. I'm very grateful for your excellent insights and the historical back-story. I hope that the volume of poetry might also bring him to greater notice.DIAMMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02176973425265794195noreply@blogger.com
