Yvan Goll

 

Yvan Goll

Yvan Goll (1891-1950) was a French-German poet who was perfectly bilingual and wrote in both countries' national languages. He had close ties both to the German expressionism and to the French surrealism.

Due to his pacifism, he escaped to Switzerland to avoid conscription into the army at the outbreak of World War I (he was a German citizen). He wrote many war poems, the most famous being "Requiem for the Dead of Europe".
