Peer Schröder

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Peer Schröder (born August 8, 1956 in Kassel ; † April 12, 2019 there ) was a German poet , writer , cultural scientist and reciter .

Life

As a high school student at the Kassel Friedrichsgymnasium , Peer Schröder, a “new type of environmentally conscious poet of his own kind”, published his first literary-artistic magazine. Schröder studied ethnology at the University of Göttingen . Some of his in the band in 2001 restored poems gathered poems appeared, some in their original version, in these journals: Analle , on the glittering lantern! , The paramedic , Falk , opponent , Loose leaves collection , Schorli Morli , magazine for applied alphabet and art .

Stephan Balkenhol talked about Peer Schröder in Kassel, with whom he, inspired by Dadaism and the American Beat Generation , copied a magazine with her own poems and drawings and threw it into mailboxes at night. Schorli Morli , as the magazine was called, was launched by the two on Holy Saturday 1976 using a Spirit Carbon printer .

The cultural scientist advocated armaments conversion both poetically and journalistically, for example he refers in a poem to the production site in Kassel-Mittelfeld - formerly Henschel , now Rheinmetall : Mittelfeld // continues to produce weapons / this time it / Kassel will be abolished entirely.

Together with Theo Köppen and Katja Töpfer, Peer Schröder has been publishing the Trompete magazine since 2007 , in which German and American beatniks , such as Rolf Schwendter , can be heard.

Peer Schröder also recited Samuel Beckett in readings.

On April 12, 2019, Peer Schröder died in Kassel after a short, serious illness .

reception

What makes Peer Schröder's poems, according to Hadayatullah Hübsch, “sunbeamed, quirky and awkwardly pretty” is his unruly rubble, with which he pearls words on a chain of poems without paying attention to the practical value of practiced scraps of sentences and bureaucracy. Instead, the “ beatnik from German rogue areas” jump cheerfully through the country, quite a child hungry for adventure from a different sphere of reality, sometimes rumbles with his load of poetry against all sorts of bulky waste called reality, but struggles less with his fate than that he gets it on the wagons Distributed trains that he would love to send in all directions.

The poet and cultural scientist Peer Schröder is one of the tireless activists of the Beat Generation , an author who does not quote the legacy of the great American idols Allen Ginsberg , Ted Berrigan or Charles Olson in an awe-inspiring manner, but rather fills their dynamism with new life. Schröder formulated his ideas for a revitalized 'Beat Poetry' in small magazines and with publications in independent publishers.
