This copy of “i’ll always love you” by Hans Wilhelm offers a rare glimpse into the poetic world of one of Germany’s most celebrated yet enigmatic 20th-century writers. Published in 1985, this collection of love poems captures Wilhelm’s raw and uncompromising style, which drew comparisons to Charles Bukowski for its unflinching exploration of desire, loss, and the human condition.

While little is known about Wilhelm’s personal life, his works provide a visceral and deeply personal account of post-war Germany, reflecting the nation’s struggle to rebuild and find meaning in the aftermath of World War II. His poetry resonated with a generation disillusioned by the horrors of war, offering a cathartic outlet for their pain and yearning for connection.

Collectors and readers alike will appreciate this well-preserved copy, which features a dust jacket in excellent condition, adding to its allure as a cherished artifact of a literary era defined by its brutal honesty and emotional intensity. Wilhelm’s enduring legacy as a counterculture icon and his influence on subsequent generations of poets make this volume a must-have for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of the human experience through the lens of one of Germany’s most authentic and uncompromising voices.
