		Settling in the village of Montagnola in the Italian-speaking canton of Ticino in southern Switzerland, Hesse was captivated by the landscape.
		Hesse claimed, "From my thirteenth birthday on, it was clear that I wanted to be a poet or nothing at all." In 1895, Hesse left Calw and took a position as an apprentice bookseller where he was introduced to the writings of Nietzsche and Goethe.
		According to Hesse experts, it is in this work that the author may be seen as "a poet who wrote with the eyes of a painter." By 1920, Hesse had completed numerous paintings and exhibitions of his paintings were held that year in Basel and Lugano, Switzerland.

		Hesse, a writer of children’s and young adult novels, was born in Baltimore, Md., and earned a bachelor’s degree in English in 1974.
		Hesse may have grown up in a Baltimore rowhouse, but her imagination took her far beyond the city's gray streets, and her writerly instincts appeared at a young age.
		Hesse developed her poetic skills, a sensitivity to the nuances of language apparent in her books, particularly ones in which the entire story is told in blank verse.

		Determined by the age of 13 "to be a poet or nothing," Hesse at first wrote derivative, romantic poems and stories of little merit.
		Hesse's novels became immensely popular during the 1950s in the English-speaking world, where their criticism of bourgeois values and interest in Eastern religious philosophy and Jungian psychology echoed the preoccupations of the younger generation.

		Many deal with the waste of human life in WW1, but never once does Hesse put on the mantle of a political ideologue: he is always a romantic, and he always knows just how to do it.
		I say without exaggeration that his poem "Thinking of a Friend At Night" is one of the best pieces of poetry that I have ever read (certainly equalling anything Wright wrote during his short life.) I have trouble reconciling the translator's introduction, which posits Hesse as "irretrievably adolescent", with this masterpiece:

		In an "Author's Note" Hesse states that the book "is a work of fiction based on true events." The story covers the time period from May 1942 to April 1945.
		Hesse's poetic language is beautiful; she creates phrases and images that are bold and refreshing.
		Particularly interesting is Hesse's portrait of the Aleut people's pre-evacuation relationship to the land on which they live, the sea that surrounds them, and the plants and animals that share these spaces.
