Georg Busse-Palma
Georg Busse-Palma (born June 20, 1876 in Lindenstadt near Birnbaum , Posen Province , Prussia, as Georg Paul Busse ; † February 14, 1915 in Teupitz ) was a German poet and stepbrother of the writer Carl Hermann Busse .
Life
Georg Paul Busse, who took the pseudonym Georg Busse-Palma in 1897, led an unsteady vagabond life in the 1890s (including a supporter of the life reform movement) that brought him to Austria , Belgium , France and Italy , among others . Most of the time he lived almost penniless, which is evidenced by numerous begging letters, including to Heinrich Jacobowski and Theobald Ziegler . After the turn of the century, he settled in Berlin, where he received financial support from his stepbrother. An unknown psychological condition that had existed since his youth brought him to the mental hospital near Teupitz in 1915, where he committed suicide on February 14, 1915.
Busse-Palma's poems are characterized by a colorful style that is rich in images and borne by numerous morbid metaphors . They can be assigned to symbolism as well as to Art Nouveau .
