At Night, Beneath Trees Selected Poems

A new collection of poems by the German poet Michael Kruger, At Night, beneath Trees is his second volume of poetry to appear in English. This latest selection, drawn from his 1993 and 1996 collections, marks an important shift in his work; moving away from the deeply philosophical dialogues of his earlier work, Kruger engages here in reflective, lyrical musings on the meaning of existence.
