Georg Gisi

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Georg Gisi (born February 18, 1916 in Niedergösgen ; † beginning of February 2010 in Elfingen ) was a Swiss methodology teacher and poet .

Life

After completing his school education in Aarau , he attended the Wettingen teacher training college , which was transformed into the Wettingen Cantonal School in 1976 . After a first position at the comprehensive school in Elfingen , he became a methodology teacher in 1954 at his own training center in Wettingen. Gisi lived with his wife in Elfingen until his death.

He was particularly inspired by the “sacred environment in which the value of silence was particularly celebrated”. As a child, after visiting a Christmas exhibition in Aarau, he picked up pencil and paint and started drawing. Later, after reading Henry David Thoreau's Diaries and Observations of Nature, who became his favorite writer, he began to write himself. A special feature of Gisi's work is the form of scarcity, which is reminiscent of the Japanese haiku . Accordingly, his motto was: “The world is overpopulated with words”, knowing full well that silence is absurd in literature.
