  • By Way of Old Petersburg: Desmond O'grady and Russian Poetry

    By Way of Old Petersburg: Desmond O'grady and Russian Poetry

    VTU Review: Studies in the Humanities and Social Sciences Volume 5 Issue 1 2021 “St. Cyril and St. Methodius” University of Veliko Tarnovo By Way of Old Petersburg: Desmond O’Grady and Russian Poetry Alla Kononova University of Tyumen The article takes on a direction which has great potential for further studies of contemporary Irish poetry: studying the work of Irish poets through their relation to Russian literature. It focuses on the reception and reimagining of Russian poetry in the work of Desmond O’Grady, one of the leading figures in Irish poetry, who started writing in the mid-1950s. The article studies three poems by O’Grady which are ad- dressed to his Russian counterparts: “Missing Andrei Voznesensky,” “Joseph Brodsky Visits Kinsale,” and “My City,” a translation from Anna Akhmatova’s “Poem without a Hero.” None of these poems has yet been subject of thorough critical analysis. Each of the poems has become a signpost on O’Grady’s poetic map and an important element of his own “private mythology.” When analysed in the wider context of Irish poetry, they help form a clearer picture of the influence Russian literature has had on contemporary Irish poets. Keywords: comparative literature, Irish literature, contemporary Irish poetry, Desmond O’Grady, Irish-Russian literary connections, Andrei Voznesensky, Joseph Brodsky, Anna Akhmatova. Desmond O’Grady (1935–2014) is one of the most remarkable figures in Irish poetry of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. He is sometimes described as a phenomenon “unusual among Irish poets of his generation for both his interest in modernist experimentation and his immersion in the poetry of other cultures” (Mills).
  • Introduction the Surreal Without Surrealism

    Introduction the Surreal Without Surrealism

    INTRODUCTION The Surreal without Surrealism The time will come, if it is not already come, when the surrealist enterprise:': will be studied and evaluated, in the history of literature, as an adventure of hope. —Wallace Fowlie, Age of Surrealism Indubitably, Surrealism and the GDR are closely connected, and are more closely related to each other than one might think. When, for example, one listens to the recollections and reads the memoirs of those who lived in this country, apparently no other conclusion can be drawn. Life in the East German Communist state had a surrealistic disposition, was associated with the grotesque, absurd and irrational. Admittedly, Surrealism did not exist in the GDR. Not only are the insights of Hans Magnus Enzensberger and Peter Bürger on the death of the historical avant-garde convincing and applicable to the GDR;1 it is also significant that no German artist or writer who considered him- or herself a Surrealist prior to 1945 returned from exile to settle in the SBZ or the GDR. Most of the celebrities of German Surrealism during the Weimar Republic were forced to go into exile or did not return to Germany at all. Max Ernst, for example, remained living in the USA, and then in 1953 moved to his wife’s old quarters in Paris; Hans Arp decided to live in Switzerland, and in 1949 chose the USA as his home country. Others who had lived through and survived Hitler’s Germany had to face the harsh demands of National Socialist cultural politics that downgraded the avant-garde to the status of Entartete Kunst, or degenerate art, and sidelined and even terrorized its representatives.

    1 Andreas F. Kelletat Pilgerfahrt ins Land der Poesie Die An- und Umtriebe des Übersetzers Richard Pietraß (Laudatio auf Richard Pietraß aus Anlass der Verleihung des Übersetzerpreises Ginkgo-Biloba für Lyrik im Hilde- Domin-Saal der Stadtbücherei Heidelberg, 30. September 2020) Der Schriftsteller und der Übersetzer, der Dichter und der Nachdichter Richard Pietraß hatte seine ersten weiterhin sichtbaren Veröffentlichungen in drei einander folgenden Ausgaben einer von Bernd Jentzsch herausgegebenen Lyrikreihe namens Poesiealbum. 90 Pfennige kosteten die Hefte und sie wurden in einer Auflage von 10.000 Exemplaren nicht nur in Buchhandlungen, sondern sogar an Zeitungskiosken verkauft. Jeden Monat gab es ein neues, eine neue Stimme im Chor der Lyrik. Im Heft Nr. 81 mit Gedichten Marina Zwetajewas erschien im Juni 1974 Pietraß‘ erste Übersetzung aus dem Russischen, im August 1974 in Heft 83 seine Nachdichtung eines Lappland-Poems des norwegischen Dichters Nordahl Grieg und in Heft 82 wurde Richard Pietraß im Juli 1974 mit eigenen Gedichten vorgestellt. Worum es ihm in seiner Poesie geht, steht auf der Innenklappe des Heftes vom Juli 1974: „Das Leben trifft uns, wie uns wahre Kunst betroffen macht. Daraus entstehen Gedichte. Immer gilt es, den Raum des Sagbaren, letztlich Lebbaren, zu erweitern.“ Ein Mittel, den „Raum des Sagbaren […] zu erweitern“, wurde für ihn neben dem eigenen Schreiben von Gedichten auch das Übersetzen und das Nachdichten. Dabei schärfte er mitunter die Aussage der Originale und ließ so die Aktualität eines Gedichts etwa von Boris Sluzki oder Nikolai Sabolozki aufblitzen. In den Poesiealben vom Juni und August 1974, die von Fritz Mierau (Zwetajewa) und Sieglinde Mierau (Grieg) zusammengestellt wurden, ist Pietraß mit jeweils nur einem Gedicht vertreten; die anderen wurden von anderen Dichtern ins Deutsche gebracht, von Heinz Czechowski, Adolf Endler, Elke Erb, Bernd Jentzsch, Rainer Kirsch, Sarah Kirsch und Reiner Kunze.
  • My Children, Teaching, and Nimrod the Word

    My Children, Teaching, and Nimrod the Word

    XIV Passions: My Children, Teaching, and Nimrod The word passion has most often been associated with strong sexual desire or lust. I have felt a good deal of that kind of passion in my life but I prefer not to speak of it at this moment. Instead, it is the appetite for life in a broader sense that seems to have driven most of my actions. Moreover, the former craving is focused on an individual (unless the sexual drive is indiscriminant) and depends upon that individual for a response in order to intensify or even maintain. Fixating on my first husband—sticking to him no matter what his response, not being able to say goodbye to him —almost killed me. I had to shift the focus of my sexual passion to another and another and another in order to receive the spark that would rekindle and sustain me. That could have been dangerous; I was lucky. But with the urge to create, the intense passion to “make something,” there was always another outlet, another fulfillment just within reach. My children, teaching, and Nimrod, the journal I edited for so many years, eased my hunger, provided a way to participate and delight in something always changing and growing. from The passion to give birth to and grow with my children has, I believe, been expressed in previous chapters. I loved every aspect of having children conception, to the four births, three of which I watched in a carefully placed mirror at the foot of the hospital delivery room bed: May 6, 1957, birth of Leslie Ringold; November 8, 1959, birth of John Ringold; August 2, 1961: birth of Jim Ringold; July 27, 1964: birth of Suzanne Ringold (Harman).

    The East German Writers Union and the Role of Literary Intellectuals In

    Writing in Red: The East German Writers Union and the Role of Literary Intellectuals in the German Democratic Republic, 1971-90 Thomas William Goldstein A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2010 Approved by: Konrad H. Jarausch Christopher Browning Chad Bryant Karen Hagemann Lloyd Kramer ©2010 Thomas William Goldstein ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii Abstract Thomas William Goldstein Writing in Red The East German Writers Union and the Role of Literary Intellectuals in the German Democratic Republic, 1971-90 (Under the direction of Konrad H. Jarausch) Since its creation in 1950 as a subsidiary of the Cultural League, the East German Writers Union embodied a fundamental tension, one that was never resolved during the course of its forty-year existence. The union served two masters – the state and its members – and as such, often found it difficult fulfilling the expectations of both. In this way, the union was an expression of a basic contradiction in the relationship between writers and the state: the ruling Socialist Unity Party (SED) demanded ideological compliance, yet these writers also claimed to be critical, engaged intellectuals. This dissertation examines how literary intellectuals and SED cultural officials contested and debated the differing and sometimes contradictory functions of the Writers Union and how each utilized it to shape relationships and identities within the literary community and beyond it. The union was a crucial site for constructing a group image for writers, both in terms of external characteristics (values and goals for participation in wider society) and internal characteristics (norms and acceptable behavioral patterns guiding interactions with other union members).

    Forwards and Don't Forget Beatrice E. Stammer Feminism Is Neither a Style Nor a Movement, but Rather a Value System, a Revolu

    Forwards and Don’t Forget Beatrice E. Stammer Feminism is neither a style nor a movement, but rather a value system, a revolutionary strategy, a standard of living. (1) In 2009, twenty years after the fall of the wall, female artists from the GDR are still mostly unknown. Up until today, few are to be found in museums or at art fairs. Their work also seldom appears in contemporary exhibitions and are only sparingly represented even in large exhibitions surveying art in the GDR – “Where have the female visual artists” (2) gone to? Why were the majority (of female artists) regarded much less than their male colleagues already in their own land and with few exceptions completely ignored since the fall of the wall? When in the 1980s a young generation of artists in Berlin (East), Leipzig and Erfurt or Dresden, confidently and subversively protested against every single monopolization and standardization, it was these artists in particular, who let this “ego perspective” stubbornly and unbridled take its course and who were motivated to leave behind the web of stipulated (female) standards of living. The non-conformist art scene of the GDR is characterized by a vehement questioning, a collective retreat and departure in which – due to the walls – however limited alternatives resulted, where life and art flowed together. And female artists played a considerable part in this development. Despite this often radical departure of both young female and male artists in the GDR however, gender relations remained traditionally inscribed and untouched. “Women therefore never seriously threatened the rules of the male dominated society that were embedded in the deep structures of the culture.” (3) Even in so-called avant- garde circles neither the women nor the men questioned the division of gender roles.

  • Sundman Wrote in an Article in 1970 ("Om Att Overtolka" BLM)

    Sundman Wrote in an Article in 1970 ("Om Att Overtolka" BLM)

    40. Sundman wrote in an article in 1970 ("Om att overtolka" B.L.M.) that Olle Stensson, the "I" of Tvl1 dagar, tv8 natter, is not a wholly reliable narrator. He gives obviously wrong information time and again. So even if we read the text very closely we still have this extra factor to contend with. But this is the strength of Sundman's writing. We are given exact descriptions of physical events, but there are almost no metaphors and no vague formulations about moral or aesthetic values. We aren't even sure when an action begins and ends. We don't know what is of particular significance. The result is that we read everything carefully, not wanting to miss any clues. We also come to realise that our interpretations will differ from those of other readers; that because of what we are we'll notice or respond to some details and not others. In the end this leads at best to a realisation of the fact that no event is an open and shut case, which must surely be a healthy sign in a community which values human rights. The following English translations of Sundman's novels have appeared: The Expedz"tz"on (ExpeditionenJ 1967, Seeker and Warburg. Two Days, Two Nz"ghts (Tva dagar, tvt natter) 1969 Panthean books.
