Thomas Kling is dead
My favourite living poet, Thomas Kling, is no longer a living poet. Very sad. I translated his brilliant cycle Der erste Weltkrieg (The First World War) into Swedish a year ago. English translations of his poetry do exist; but are probably hard to find. A collection of links to texts in German are to be found here and there's also a good interview here, as well as links to several obituaries from Perlentaucher.
