Ralf-Rainer Rygulla (born November 6, 1943 in Katowice , Upper Silesia ) is a German writer and publisher.

life and work

Rygulla completed an apprenticeship as a bookseller in Essen from 1959–62, lived in London for three years and studied at the Cologne University of Education. He was a translator and editor at the March publishing house and freelance editor at Rowohlt . In 1967 he published the anthology Underground Poems for the Berliner Oberbaum Presse , as an expanded edition Fuck you! at Melzer (1968), which - like Höllerer / Corso's Junge American Lyrik (1961) and Paetel's Beat (1962) - brought the latest beat and underground lyrics from the USA closer to West German audiences. Fuck you! named after Ed Sanders Fuck You: A Magazine of the Arts (1962f.), introduced Charles Bukowski , Frank O'Hara , Ted Berrigan , Ed Sanders , Tuli Kupferberg , Philip Whalen , Jack Spicer , Edward Dorn and Leonore Kandel . In 1980 a new edition of the volume was published by Fischer-Taschenbuch-Verlag .

In 1969 Rygulla and Rolf Dieter Brinkmann published the anthology Acid in March Verlag . New American scene emerged, which to this day is one of the essential testimonies of American underground literature that followed the beat lyric . Together with Brinkmann, whom he had known since his apprenticeship as a bookseller, he also undertook lyrical experiments such as “ Der joviale Russe ”, the 'translation' of the Apollinaire poem “La jolie rousse” without knowledge of the original language. Rygulla published Frank Xerox's wild dream and further samples of his collaboration with Brinkmann in Rowohlt's literary magazine in 1995 .
