Karl Wolfskehl (18691948) came to New Zealand in 1938 as a refugee. Disturbed by the rising anti-Semitism he had left Germany for Switzerland and Italy in 1933. When Italy began to adopt anti-Jewish legislation he fled Europe for distant New Zealand which he had heard was an 'island of racial equality'. For ten years he found asylum here and the peace to go on writing. Though almost blind, the open-minded and curious German-Jewish poet soon became engaged in the social and cultural life of the country, befriending many of the leading younger writersR. A. K. Mason, Frank Sargeson, A. R. D. Fairburn, Denis Glover and others not so well-known nowadays, such as Pia Richards, Phoebe Meikle, Ian Hamilton, and Ronald and Kay Holloway. Although they could not read his poetry in German, those who sought his company and read to him, introducing him to English and American literature, were impressed by his inexhaustible erudition. In New Zealand he wrote much new poetry, amongst it his best known poems To the Germans and Job or The Four Mirrors. The letters he wrote from his antipodean exile to friends dispersed around the globe are the testament of an extraordinary man and poet. As C. K. Stead has put it: 'Wolfskehl was a true hero of those times.'

"In 1933 the German Jewish poet Karl Wolfskehl (1869-1948), deeply disturbed by the brutal anti-Semitism rising in his native Germany, fled into exile in Switzerland and Italy... When Italy too adopted anti-Jewish legislation Wolfskehl left Europe, seeking asylum in faraway New Zealand, where he found shelter and the peace to continue writing poetry: his Mediterranean cycle and his most important composition 'Job, or The Four Mirrors.' This selection of Wolfskehl's poetry includes poems from his beginnings around 1900, but focuses on the work from his years of exile when he emerged from the shadow of his admired poet-friend Stefan George and found his own distinctive voice"--Back cover.

German-Jewish poet Karl Wolfskehl spent the last years of his life, from 1938 to 1948, in Auckland,New Zealand, on the globes last island reef, as a refugee from Nazi Germany. The conditions of hislife forced him to consider the very nature of human existence, and his letters from New Zealand,many to friends and associates exiled around the globe, amount to an intellectual autobiography. Wolfskehl was described by Thomas Mann as a personality of European rank, holding an importantand incomparable place in the history of the German spirit. As a poet and thinker, as an intimate friendand lifelong companion of the great German poet, Stefan George; as a promoter stimulating variedprogressive movements of the twentieth century he was of great influence in significant spheres of artsand letters. During his Auckland years Wolfskehl got to know the formative generation of New Zealand writers:Frank Sargeson, R. A. K. Mason, A. R. D. Fairburn (who dedicated his Poems 19291941 to Wolfskehl),Denis Glover and the acolytes of the Caxton Press and, to a lesser degree, Allen Curnow.
