August Stramm: 32 Poems
The German Expressionist writer August Stramm (1874–1915) began his career as a postmaster aboard luxury liners, traveling between Hamburg and New York, where he made long stays. "[A]round the year 1912, literature overtook him like a sickness…. A demon awoke in him,” as his daughter, Inge, put it. Instead of his previous romantic poetry, he began to write poems and plays in "a strange new style." Despairing because no one would publish him, he was on the verge of destroying this work when his wife, Else, a romance novelist, suggested that he contact the editor of the magazine Der Sturm. Stramm's influence on avant-garde German literature was enormous. The 32 Poems in this book are his largest collection in English.

Contradicta: Aphorisms (back in print)
Inspired by the notion of the dialectic in the work of philosophers such as Hegel and Bachelard, Nick Piombino created his idea of paired aphorisms he calls Contradicta, recasting the classic form of the great aphorists such as La Rochefoucauld, Blake, and Emerson in a contemporary context. The book is illustrated by Toni Simon.

Plain Song and Angel Heurtebise
A French/English Bilingual Edition
Jean Cocteau (1889–1963) was one of the most influential artists of the French Surrealist avant-garde, best known for films like The Blood of a Poet (1930), Beauty and the Beast (1946), and Orpheus (1950). In his 30s, he wrote two long poems, Plain Song and Angel Heurtebise, about his love for Raymond Radiguet (1903–1923), a novelist and poet who died at age 20.

Lucebert: The Collected Poems, Volume 3
A Dutch/English Bilingual Edition
Lucebert (1924-1994) was affiliated with the art movements Cobra (or CoBrA: from Copenhagen, Brussels, and Amsterdam) and the Fiftiers (de Vijftigers). He won numerous national and Amsterdam-based prizes, and, to this day, he remains an important voice within the Dutch literary canon. Lucebert: The Collected Poems, Volume 3 (of four planned by translator Diane Butterman) covers the years 1965-1982.

Last Living Words: The Ingeborg Bachmann Reader (back in print)
Born in Klagenfurt, Austria, in 1926, Ingeborg Bachmann studied law and philosophy at the universities of Innsbruck, Graz, and Vienna, writing her dissertation on Martin Heidegger. Brilliantly translated from the German by Lilian M. Friedberg, Last Living Words (winner of the Kayden Translation Award) presents a new perspective on this internationally renowned author of poetry, fiction, and radio plays. Green Integer previously published an early work, Letters to Felician.

Hell Has No Limits (back in print)
With its stark atmosphere, powerful characterizations, and dazzling alterations of perspective in time and gender, José Donoso's early masterwork, Hell Has No Limits, anticipates the qualities of better-known works by this Chilean magic-realist. He called it his best work: "the most perfect, with fewest errors, the most complete." Author of A House in the Country, The Obscene Bird of Night, Coronation, This Sunday, and Curfew, Donoso is one of the great Latin American "boom" novelists. He was awarded the international prize of the America Award in 1996, shortly before his death.

Ten Thousand Lives: Maninbo, Volumes 21-25
Born in 1933 in a small rural village in Korea’s North Cholla Province, Ko Un grew up in a Japanese-controlled land that was soon to experience the horrors of the Korean War. He became a Buddhist monk in 1952, and began writing in the late 1950s. Ten Thousand Lives is his major, ongoing work, which began in prison with a determination to describe every person he had ever met or heard of. It tells the stories of many figures from Korean history, as well as children and poor people, who, without his poems, would have vanished into oblivion. Green Integer previously published Volumes 1–10.
