The connection for Kafka came through Confucianism, while for Rilke the major tie-in was Zen Buddhism, and for Nadel the primary influence was Taoism. Even though the writings of Kafka and Rilke are generally well known to the English-reading public, this is the first time that selections from Nadels German poetry have been translated into English.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMartin Wasserman is a Professor Emeritus at SUNY Adirondack, a college in the State University of New York system, where he taught for thirty-six years.
