Heym, Georg

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.03 sec.

Heym, Georg (1887-1912)

German poet. His expressionist verse is filled with powerful demonic forces bringing death and destruction, as in Der ewige Tag 1911 and Umbra vitae 1912. Cities in particular are conceived as threats, as in Der Gott der Stadt and Die Dämonen der Städte. The apocalyptic and grotesque imagery in Heym's work produces an overwhelming mood of decline and decay.
