To me a somewhat mixed bag--Enzensberger is certainly inclined towards sarcasm and satire and in some ways his poetry reminds me in tone of the very excellent Austrian novelist and playwright Thomas Bernhard. A problem here sometimes at least for me is that many of his poems here are hard to reference or to put it another way seem somewhat inaccessible to these non-German eyes and ears. The one collection I liked best were the selection from his book 'The sinking of the Titanic' which were worthy of a 4 or 4 and a half easily. Anyway I expect I'll be back to him rather sooner than later--he is certainly worthy of another try or two. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Bilingual Edition Hans Magnus Enzensberger is Germany's most important and influential living poet, a lightning rod in a stormy political and cultural landscape. The Sheep Meadow Press is proud to publish Enzensberger's Selected Poems, drawn from six volumes of his work. Sheep Meadow has also published his Kiosk (translated by the author and Michael Hamburger) and Lighter Than Air: Moral Poems, (translated by Reinhold Grimm). Come of age after the Third Reich, Enzensberger builds his poetry upon titanic German wreckage and tradition. Always historical and provocative, his humanity dares to sport a sublime malice toward all and charity for few. His revelations have something in common with certain post-Renaissance painters, whose Madonnas are both spiritual and lascivious. Lawrence Joseph, in his introduction to Kiosk, writes, "Enzensberger, more than any poet of his generation anywhere in the world, comes before the public with his own precepts, codes and taboos . . . Whose work has delved into and captured the thought of our time to the extent that Enzensberger's has?" Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
