American poetologics : statements and poems by twentieth century poets = Amerikanische Poetologie. - Zweisprachig: Englisch / Deutsch

Amerikanische Lyriker haben die Dichtung des 20. Jahrhunderts weltweit maßgeblich beeinflusst. Dennoch sind ihre Gedichte und erst recht ihre Äußerungen zur Poetik mit wenigen Ausnahmen in Deutschland nur spärlich rezipiert worden. Der vorliegende Band stellt die Traditionslinien und die meisten wichtigeren Dichtungsschulen von William Carlos Williams bis in die 90er Jahre (u.a. Objektivismus, Beat-, San Francisco-, Black Mountain-, New York-, Deep Image- und Language-Lyrik sowie ethnische Dichtung) anhand der Selbstäußerungen von 23 Lyrikerinnen und Lyrikern und einer kleineren Auswahl repräsentativer Gedichte vor. Erkennbar wird dabei die Vielfalt und auch die Dynamik der poetischen Produktion und Reflexion in den Vereinigten Staaten

Amiri Baraka, 7th Annual ODU Literary Festival

Formerly LeRoi Jones, Amiri Baraka has been hailed as one of the most fascinating intellectual figures in postwar America, the father of modern black poetry, and one of America\u27s most important writers. Baraka\u27s first poetry collection, Preface to a Twenty Volume Suicide Note, appeared in 1961. Two years later he published his brilliant discussion of music and culture, Blues People. Dutchman, his first play, opened in 1964 to perhaps the most excited acclaim ever accorded an off-Broadway production and received the year\u27s Obie Award. In all, Baraka has published twenty-four plays, eleven volumes of poetry, six books of nonfiction, a novel, a story collection, and The Autobiography of LeRoi Jones/Amiri Baraka. He also founded Harlem\u27s Black Arts Repertory Theater School and Newark\u27s Spirit House. In addition to his Monday evening reading, which will open the 1984 literary festival, Baraka will present a Tuesday afternoon talk, Literature and Reality, and answer questions from the audience
