	abstract = {The essay explores Durs Gr{\"u}nbein{\textquoteright}s critique of imperialism, with special focus on his translation of Catullus Carmen 4 and the title poem of his volume Koloss im Nebel. Using materials from the German Literary Archive in Marbach (two manuscript pages from the Gr{\"u}nbein deposits there are reproduced), the essay shows how the poet{\textquoteright}s recent work engages with this theme in classical antiquity. Expanding the range more broadly, the essay also considers Gr{\"u}nbein{\textquoteright}s writings oin and translations of Seneca, as well as his essay on Hermann Broch{\textquoteright}s Der Tod des Vergil. By pulling together history, geography, and Gr{\"u}nbein{\textquoteright}s personal experience in the German Democratic Republic, the essay aims to create a more nuanced picture of Gr{\"u}nbein{\textquoteright}s engagement with imperialism.},
