Book Synopsis
Consists of close readings of four poems illustrating Gottfried Benn's developing conception of stillness or stasis: Trunkene Flut (1927), Wer allein ist-- (1936), Statische Gedichte (1944), and Reisen (1950). Mark Roche pays particular attention to the interrelation of form and content.

Trade Review
Roche is willing to tackle authors whose texts are canonical and yet also pose difficult questions of interpretation and evaluation. Certainly a direct confrontation with Benn confirms Roche's audacity and his hermeneutic skill." - South Atlantic Review

"Roche has demonstrated considerable hermenuetic skill in dealing with individual poems and has made a significant contribution to Benn scholarship with his four analyses." - German Studies Review
