Durs Grünbein

Aus der Traum (Kartei)(dOCUMENTA (13): 100 Notes - 100 Thoughts, 100 Notizen - 100 Gedanken # 065)

By: Durs Grünbein

»Dichtung versetzt Sprache in einen Traumzustand, in dem sie sich der zudringlichen Realität meditierend vergewissert.« Mit diesem für das dichterische Projekt Durs Grünbeins sowie seine gesamte Ästhetik so zentralen Satz beginnt der Literaturkritiker Michael Eskin seine Einführung in dessen Traumarbeit. Anhand einer akribisch geführten und mit Notizen versehenen Traumkartei erinnert Grünbein eine Vielzahl seiner Träume – von seinen Töchtern, die wie Nixen aus der Wohnung schwimmen, von einem Picknick mit seinen Eltern in der Nähe eines Blutbads in Kamerun, von einer verführerischen Schönen im Flugzeug und einer Kröte mit Gaumenaugen. »Was dem Dasein poetische Dichte verleiht, ist der Traum. Er wappnet uns mit der Undurchdringlichkeit der Augenblicke«, notiert Grünbein. Die Gesten seien das Unergründlichste des Traumes, denn ein Winken oder ein Zwinkern gäbe dem inneren Drama eine neue Wendung. Das Notizbuch »Aus der Traum (Kartei)« schöpft aus dem bereits Gelebten und holt die Poesie zurück ins Alltagsleben. Durs Grünbein (geb. 1962) lebt als Dichter, Übersetzer und Essayist in Berlin. Der Autor Michael Eskin ist Mitbegründer und Vizepräsident von Upper Westside Philosophers Inc., New York. Sprache: Deutsch/Englisch

The Bars of Atlantis

Selected Essays

By: Durs Grünbein

This landmark collection of essays by one of the world's greatest living authors makes Durs Grünbein's wide-ranging and multifaceted prose available in English for the first time, and is a welcome complement to Ashes for Breakfast, his first book-length collection of poetry in English. Covering two decades, The Bars of Atlantis unfurls the entire breadth and depth of Grünbein's essayistic genius. Memoiristic and autobiographical pieces that introduce Grünbein, the man and the author, and tell the story of the making of a poet and thinker toward the end of a century marked by global political strife, unprecedented human suffering, long decades of totalitarian rule, and, in its final quarter, the dawn of a new, post–Cold War world order; essays that focus on Grünbein's major philosophical and aesthetic concerns, such as the intersection of art and science, literature and biology; extended reflections on the existential, cultural, political, and ethical import of the poet's craft in the contemporary world; and, finally, explorations of the meaning of classical antiquity for the present—all contribute to making.

Ashes for Breakfast

Selected Poems

By: Durs Grünbein

The first English translation of Germany's leading contemporary poet. ...what is the whole surreal jokeshop of terrors compared to the infinitely chance little tricks of a poem. --from "MonoLogical Poem #1" Born in Dresden in 1962, Durs Grünbein is the most significant and successful poet to emerge from the former East Germany, a place where, he wrote, "the best refuge was a closed mouth." In unsettling, often funny, sometimes savage lines whose vivid images reflect his deep love for and connection with the visual arts, Grunbein is reinventing German poetry and taking on the most pressing moral concerns of his generation. Brilliantly edited and translated by the English poet Michael Hofmann, Ashes for Breakfast expertly introduces Germany's most highly acclaimed contemporary poet to American readers.

By: Durs Grünbein

Literary Nonfiction. Poetry History & Criticism. Translated from the German by Michael Eskin. This extraordinary book offers a dazzling personal poetics as well as a sustained engagement with the origins of poetry itself.

Emerging from the heart of the European tradition, every page is packed with insight, wit and linguistic surprises, superbly rendered in Michael Eskin's supple English. But more than that: this is a volume with a mission. In reckoning with the possibilities of poetry, it sets out to show us a better way of being in the world: "a guide to thinking and feeling with precision." Written by one of the most exciting and thought-provoking writers of the moment, THE VOCATION OF POETRY is essential reading for anyone interested in modern poetry or in modern life.

The writers in Liberties offer deep experience from across borders, national identities, political affiliations and artistic achievements.

Barbara Klemm

Fotografien : 1968-2013

By: Barbara Klemm,Durs Grünbein,Hans-Michael Koetzle

Mehr als 40 Jahre war Barbara Klemm an den Brennpunkten des Zeitgeschehens. Als Fotografin der "Frankfurter Allgemeinen Zeitung" wurde sie Zeugin von zahlreichen Schlüsselereignissen der Epoche: Willy Brandt 1973 im Gespräch mit Leonid Breschnew, umringt von Beratern und Journalisten; die Nelkenrevolution 1974 in Portugal; Papst Johannes Paul II. bei seiner ersten Polenreise in den Jahren der Solidárnosz, Michail Gorbatschow 1989 am 40. Jahrestag der DDR in Ost-Berlin; Václav Havel 1990 freudig in der Prager Burg; der Fall der Mauer und die deutsche Vereinigung. Viele andere haben diese Momente ebenfalls fotografiert, doch Barbara Klemm hat die Bilder geschaffen, die sich ins kollektive Gedächtniseingeschrieben haben. Immer sind es die Menschen, auf die Barbara Klemm ihr Augenmerk richtet seien sie nun mächtig oder arm, bürgerlich oder exzentrisch. So ist denn auch das Porträt das Gebiet, dem ihre besondere Leidenschaft gilt. 0Exhibition: Martin-Gropois-Bau, Berlin, Germany (16.11.2013-09.03.2014).
