Life

Rolf Schilling is a writer, poet, essayist and translator of English, French and Russian poetry. He lives in Udestedt near Erfurt . After studying philosophy at the Humboldt University in Berlin , he worked at the Institute for Marxism-Leninism at the Technical University in Ilmenau until 1977 . Since then he has concentrated on his writing. None of his books were published in the GDR . The publication was carried out by his friend, poet and publisher Uwe Lammla, initially in simple private prints and from 1990 onwards in the Arnshaugk Verlag in Munich, which was founded especially for this purpose .

Encounters and artist friendship

Rolf Schilling was in correspondence with Fritz Usinger , Ernst Jünger , Arno Breker , Stephan Hermlin and other artists of the previous generation. The correspondence has not yet been published. In the current art and culture scene, Schilling occupies an idiosyncratic solitary place: largely unnoticed by the official cultural scene, for decades he has been the center of a circle of friends and students who, due to his poetic art of form, the mythical-archaic references of his extremely artificial work and worship his independent way of life. His younger friends and correspondence partners include a. the poet Joachim Werneburg , the publisher and poet Uwe Lammla , the publicist Werner Bräuninger , the writer, poet and long-time owner of the Telesma publishing house Baal Müller and the poet, musician and graphic artist Uwe Nolte . The friendship with the latter resulted in numerous jointly organized readings, a legendary concert in Leipzig at the Völkerschlachtdenkmal at Whitsun 2006 and the audio book “Gesang überm Quell” produced by Nolte. Schilling is also featured on several publications by Orplid , a music project by Nolte.

Ernst Jünger praises his “mythical-heraldic attitude” in the notes Seventy Gone . The joint work "Days of the Gods" was created with Arno Breker and adorns numerous drawings by the sculptor. At the suggestion of his editor Joe F. Bodenstein (Paris), he also dedicated the signed original lithograph "Orpheus with the harp" to Schilling for the luxury edition of the publication, in memory of Jean Cocteau . The book premier with a public reading by the poet took place in the Museum Europäische Kunst (NRW) in 1991. Schilling was also a guest in the figure studio and in Brekers Museum.

poetry

Rolf Schilling's poems are predominantly inspired by mythological themes and have a metrically exact structure comparable to the New Formalism . Current political references are almost completely absent in Schilling's work.
