Hesse's uneasiness about the degree of self-exposure in these quite untypical poems is evident in that the majority (and many of the best) were never reprinted during his lifetime.  Astonishingly frank and raw at times, they reflect his effort to balance the constraints of his intellectual life with his longing for the free experiences of the senses. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Together with \u003ci\u003eSteppenwolf\u003c\/i\u003e--the link with that novel is unmistakable--\u003ci\u003eCrisis\u003c\/i\u003e served as a catharsis for Hesse, bringing to its climax a difficult period of questioning and despair.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e…\"[A]n intense, difficult work of high seriousness.\" - \u003ci\u003eThe Guardian\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Farrar, Straus and Giroux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47125853470960,"sku":"9781466835054","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781466835054_p0.jpg?v=1763685436","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781466835054","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
