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 to both to German expressionism and to 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," as well as several plays, including The Immortal One (1918). In 1927, he wrote the libretto for a surrealist opera, Royal Palace, set to music by composer Kurt Weill. He also wrote the scenario for Der Neue Orpheus, a cantata set by Weill.
