- Language: Aus Liebe zur Sprache
Zum Werk des Schriftstellers Stuart Friebert
Von Gert Niers
Manchmal schreibt das Leben die
besten Geschichten, selbst die Lebensgeschichte eines Schriftstellers. Zumindest trifft dies auf den in Milwaukee geborenen Stuart Friebert zu, dessen Interesse an der deutschen Sprache von seiner Beschäftigung
mit den Naturwissenschaften herrührt und der letztlich zu einem bedeutenden Verfasser sowohl deutsch- als auch englischsprachiger Lyrik wurde, nicht zu vergessen seine Tätigkeit als Übersetzer, Herausgeber und
Literaturwissenschaftler.
- Language: For the Love of Language:
The Work of Writer Stuart Friebert
by Gert Niers
Life itself sometimes writes the best stories,
and sometimes even the life story of a writer. At least this has been the case with Milwaukee-born Stuart Friebert, whose interest in German stems from his studies in science, and who wound up as a significant
author of both German and English poetry, not to forget his work as a translator, editor, and scholar.

- At Home: Salad Days
by Sharon Hudgins
Many foreigners think of German cuisine as nothing more than meat-and-potatoes fare –

warmer climes.
