Poet Biography
A poet first and foremost, Bertolt Brecht's genius was for language. However, because this language is built upon a certain bold and direct simplicity, his plays often lose something in the translation from his native German. Nevertheless, they contain a rare poetic vision, a voice that has rarely been paralleled in the 20th century. Brecht was influenced by a wide variety of sources including Chinese, Japanese, and Indian theatre, the Elizabethans (especially Shakespeare), Greek tragedy, Büchner, Wedekind, fair-ground entertainments, the Bavarian folk play, and many more. Such a wide variety of sources might have proven overwhelming for a lesser artist, but Brecht had the uncanny ability to take elements from seemingly incompatible sources, combine them, and make them his own. In his early plays, Brecht experimented with dada and expressionism, but in his later work, he developed a style more suited his own unique vision. He detested the "Aristotelian" drama and its attempts to lure the spectator into a kind of trance-like state, a total identification with the hero to the pBertolt Brecht: Gedichte über die Liebe

Brecht-Gedichte über die Liebe
Geh ich zeitig in die Leere
Komm ich aus der Leere voll.

Ist es eben auch Verschleiß
Aber dann, in der Kühle
Werd ich wieder heiß.

Bertolt Brechts Gedichte über die Liebe stammen aus allen Zeiten seines Lebens: die ersten schrieb der noch unbekannte Augsburger Schüler, die letzten der schon weltbekannte Dramatiker und Berliner Theaterleiter. Das Thema der Liebe zu einem Menschen wiederholt sich in gleicher Beständigkeit wie das Thema der Liebe zu den Menschen, die aufgerufen sind, ihren Planeten „bewohnbar“ einzurichten. Beide Themen bedingen sich, regen sich an, schöpfen eins aus dem anderen. Der Mikrokosmos der individuellen Liebe beflügelt den Anspruch, auch in der „großen Welt“ unter menschlichen Bedingungen Freundlichkeit und Frieden, Bewegung und Produktivität, Schönheit und Würde in das Zusammenleben der Menschen zu bringen. Denn ohne solche Tugenden der Verhältnisse l
Bertolt Brecht – «Liebesgedichte»
Von Ingrid Isermann
Brechts sozialkritische Stücke wie «Mutter Courage», «Der gute Mensch von Sezuan», «Die Dreigroschenoper», «Mann ist Mann» oder «Der kaukasische Kreidekreis» sind als Klassiker des epischen Theaters präsent und haben nichts von ihrem Biss und ihrer Bedeutung in der atemlosen Zeit heutiger globaler Wirtschaftswirren verloren. Es könnte aber sein, dass seine Gedichte zwischenzeitlich den längeren Atem haben. Der Suhrkamp-Verlag bringt die «Liebesgedichte» zum Geburtstag der Insel-Bücherei wieder auf den Buchmarkt. Brechts Gedichte wurden in fast alle Sprachen der Welt übersetzt.
Die Auswahl von Elisabeth Hauptmann zeigt die vielfältigen Aspekte der Liebe in der Lyrik Brechts. Brecht und die Frauen wäre ein abendfüllendes Theaterstück. Denn auf die treue Gefolgschaft von Frauen konnte Brecht zählen. Es ging um ihn, seine Person und den Dramatiker Brecht, um eine bessere und gerechtere Welt. Dafür gingen die Freundinnen mit ihm durchs Feuer, durch dick und dünn, wechselten die Länder so oft wie die Schuhe, nach einem Brecht-Zitat, liessen sich bewerben, lieben und ablieben.

Bertolt Brecht was a German playwright, director, and poet in the Weimar Republic period (), where he achieved notoriety through his work in the theater, producing plays that often had a Marxist perspective. He worked primarily in a genre of theater called "epic theater," known for its eschewing of psychological realism in favor of more didactic narrative, in which scenes are interrupted by analysis, argument, or documentation.
Brecht was born in Augsburg, Bavaria in to a Protestant mother and a Catholic father. His mother was devout and taught Brecht about the Bible, a lasting influence on his work. When Brecht was in high school, World War I broke out. While Brecht was initially in favor of the war, he soon criticized it, which led to his near expulsion from school. In college, he studied theater with Arthur Kutscher, who introduced Brecht to the writer Frank Wedekind, author of the "Lulu" cycle and Spring Awakening.
Brecht wrote his first full-length play, Baal, in , followed by Drums in the Night in February Following university, Brecht received attention from critics and audiences alike, writing
