Arno Holz's Phantasus is a groundbreaking masterpiece of German literary modernism, blending naturalistic precision with dreamlike lyricism in a bold experiment with free verse. First published in stages between 1898 and 1925, this poetic cycle defies traditional forms, using centered lines and an innovative structure to capture the rhythm of natural speech and the vibrancy of urban life. This edition offers a carefully considered English translation alongside the German original, allowing readers to experience Holz's unique poetic artistry in its fullest depth.
