Although much has been written of him as a forerunner of existentialism  Freudian psychology  and modern linguistics  no modern study had been devoted to one of his lifelong preoccupations: his poetry. This book--the first to bring together the poems in English--restores them to their proper central position in the Nietzsche canon. Begun in early youth and composed and revised until the onset of his insanity in 1899  the poems reflect his own imperative that \"the philosopher should recognize that which is necessary and the artist should create it.\"  In The Poetry of Friedrich Nietzsche Grundlehner examines 30 major poems and in so doing draws allusions and references to 220 juvenilia  songs  epigrams  dithyrambs  and verse fragments found throughout Nietzsches writing. Arranged chronologically according to the various stages of Nietzsches life and philosophical development  these not only bear testimony to the many changes in his environment and thinking  but from a rich background to his prose writings.  Excerpt:  \"Toward New Seas\" (1882)  Toward that place--is my will. And I trust Henceforth myself and my grip. Open lies the sea  my Genose ship heads into the blue.
