group of the poems to music in collaboration with Brecht.

Composition and publication

The first major poetry collection that Brecht wrote in exile was Lieder Gedichte Chöre. This was followed by the Svendborger Gedichte in 1939. This compilation was preceded by earlier publications, and individual poems followed, such that one can assume a period of origin from 1926 to 1938. Brecht worked on compiling the collection primarily during the winter of 1937-38 while living at Skovsbostrand
