The collection of poems, writting during the same period as Steppenwolf, was first published in 1928 in a limited edition of 1,000 copies. Hesse's uneasiness about the degree of self-exposure in these quite untypical poems is evident in that the majority (and many of the best) were never reprinted during his lifetime; Nobel Laureate Hesse asserted that the Crisis poems deal with the "misery and despair of sensual life," and element of his own natur which he had repressed until middle age. A bilingual edition with poems in the original German and translated into English by Ralph Manheim.
