    I have a fair library of poetry books a lot I have not as yet managed to read I picked a lot of them up on my travels around the South West of England
    when I lived there from the numerous charity shops. Recently I opened a book called simplply, 'Love Poems' by Edrich Fried its poems are written in both German and English. I have done a web search for information about this poet as his poems are the type I like, to the point and cutting, not to flowery but he stirs my heart with his simplicity and the beauty of them. I have found 2 of his poetry books and have them both I am dying to get any more information about him as he could turn out to be one of the most important German poets of last century and he is not even mentioned in the Wilipedia, I would love to be the one to write up his Autobiography there, can anyone help. Perhaps if you are German and can translate information off the net into English you may come up with something from there. Many thank Ray Smallshaw
