The publication of Gottfried Benn's first volume of poems, Morgue, in 1912, established him as a member of the European avant-garde and an enfant terrible of expressionism. A Berlin physician, Benn brought to his early poems a medically based obsession with the phenomena of physical and mental decay and a radical disillusionment with the bourgeois show more world.
