Günter Grass produced poetry and collected works throughout his career. His verse addressed many of the same themes as his fiction — German history, political engagement, and the relationship between art and life.

Several of these volumes combine poetry with Grass’s visual artwork, reflecting his parallel careers as a writer and graphic artist. “Drawings And Words” and “Etchings And Words” pair his prints and drawings with accompanying texts.
