ANTONY FOSTIERIS belongs to the poets of the seventies. His poetic language stands out for its clarity and tone of familiarity. It is a dense and talkative language in which the poet formulates his craft based on a combination and spherical approach to his internal and external worlds. The main characteristic of his poetry is the combination of emotional and aesthetic elements with philosophical meditation. He is a crafty poet, a great image creator, who exploits the multiple meanings of words. Dense, glossy, glamorous, precise as a clock mechanism, whose tick sounds like a heartbeat, ...

The complexity of the translation act has often been talked about. Making a text cross over the confines of a language and culture within the borderlines of another language and culture is a deed of pride as the translator re-creates the original text and a deed of humility and obedience because translation is always a Luciferic fall. It is a subordinate(d) text that has to admit the limits imposed upon itself by the original. Translation is joy and pain. Rodica Marian’s poetry is the work of an intellectual influenced by her culture, by her knowledge as a linguist, semiotician, ...

Osmond has written a powerful and challenging collection of original poems representing the complex, fragmentary nature of traumatic experience. Interleaved with these are translated excerpts of two very different texts: the Anglo Saxon epic poem Beowulf and the Qur'an. Osmond's translations from the Qur'an, in contrast to the stereotype of the Qur'an as a monolithic book full of judgment and proscription, focus on its vivid lyricism and the surprisingly riddling nature of its philosophy.

Gibran’s other two books, The Forerunner and The Madman, are of deep assistance in the same manner.

Der Dichter France Prešeren (1800–1849), im Ausdruck Klassizist und Romantiker im Geist, steht unbestritten an der Spitze der slowenischen Literatur. Als Visionär, getrieben von Hoffnung und Verzweiflung, schrieb er die meisten seiner Gedichte in den 1830er Jahren und hob die slowenische Poesie auf Weltniveau. Im Zentrum seiner Poesie stehen die Liebe, existenzielle Not, Nationalgefühl und poetisches Schaffen, doch auch seine satirische Seite ist nicht zu vernachlässigen. Die kosmopolitische siebte Strophe seiner Zdravljica ist heute die slowenische Hymne und könnte durchaus auch die Hymne der Vereinten Nationen sein.

Das Dasein ästhetisch rechtfertigen – und sich dabei zuschauen. Oder sich eingestehen, dass man eigentlich gar nicht versteht, was in der Welt geschieht. Oder das Ganze herumdrehen: Nicht-Verstehen als ethische Grundlage eines Lebens betrachten. Wie wäre es mit einer Poesie der Gleichgültigkeit? Einer Haltung, die dennoch nichts unberührt lässt – wäre dies ein erster Schritt? Und wohin? Willi van Hengel hat einen Reigen seiner bisher erschienenen Texte komponiert.
