haha why?
I bought the Petrarch and Trakl - want to get hold of the Villon and Goethe.

i get what thomp means – good on translations, but the English part of the list is quite conservative mid-C20th stuff – solid 3rd division sorts who get a poem or two in The Oxford/Penguin/Faber Book Of Whatever (eg Peter Levi, F T Prince)

The translations are what got my attention.

if you have any interest in German poetry, definitely check out the Michael Hamburger Holderlin translations--gone thru something like 5 editions, and to my knowledge there is still not a better or more-comprehensive collection available in English
