Erich Fried’s poems are characterized by a special humanitarian commitment, written in an age in which mankind, for the first time in its history, must live with the possibility of self-destruction. On the one hand, the poems are intended to emphasize the urgency of our present situation, on the other hand, they reflect feelings and longings of each individual.
