The religious poetry of Reinhard Sorge speaks of his journey to Christian belief, and the final joy and deep love of God that he eventually found. This is the first time a book entirely of Sorge’s poetry has been published in the English Language, and the riches revealed by John Gallas’s elegant translations show this extraordinary poet in a new light. This collection is translated from a selection published in 1925 by Dr Martin Rockenbach entitled Nachgelassene Gedichte, simply ‘Posthumous Poems’. Gallas retains the structure of the original poems while crafting new and appealing works in the English language, offering readers a window into the heartfelt passion and faith of the original poetry.
