Opis

Georg Trakl (1887 1914) has emerged as one of the most influential poets of the century. Kudszus both explores and participates in the relentless process of Trakl s writing. Presumptions of objectivity, authority, dialogue, and coherence are questioned in a discourse that also involves Martin Heidegger s philosophical reflections on Trakl, C. G. Jung s self-analytical reading of James Joyce s Ulysses, and the Bluebeard tale as related by Charles Perrault.Faithful to its title, Poetic Process activates key issues of twentieth-century poetry terror, pain, madness, imagination unbound through a dynamically self-reflective inquiry. Under the impact of the poetic text, this investigation engages in a continuous refinement and transformation of its own critical stance. Poetic Process draws on the ability of poetry to explore uncharted realms of the human condition. The result is a contribution to the knowledge of poetic language and effects."
