Yvan Goll, born Isaac Lange (Saint-Dié, March 29, 1891 - February 27, 1950) was a French-German poet who was perfectly bilingual and wrote in both French and German. He had close ties both to the German expressionism and to the French surrealism. He escaped to Switzerland to avoid conscription into the army at the outbreak of World War I (he was a German citizen). He wrote many war poems, the most famous being "Requiem for the Dead of Europe".
