Occasional poems and blurbs

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Occasional poems and blurbs is a collection of 26 occasional poems and 13 blurbs by Helmut Heißenbüttel , published in 1973 by Luchterhand Literaturverlag . The different names result from the fact that the occasional poems were written as commissioned work for people who wrote the blurb for exhibition openings (occasions). Heißenbüttel had to strictly adhere to the time limits, he considered his collection to be an important addition to his textbooks.

Heißenbüttel's occasional poems

Heißenbüttel's occasional poems are "prompted by external occasions (and as such expressly include them), analytically proceeding poetic contributions to his personal theory of a new literature, reacting to a historical state of the conception of poetry."

The syntactically broken structure of the occasional poems is particularly striking. Heißenbüttel tried to develop a new poetics and gave it the name "open literature", because it is no longer composed of subjective factors, but solely of language patterns of the most diverse genres.
