Heute ist der Welttag der Poesie. Grund genug meine liebsten Lyriker auf meinem Blog vorzustellen.
Edna St Vincent Milay
Die amerikanische Lyrikerin gewann den Pulitzer Preis. Sie wurde 1892 in Maine geboren und starb 1950 im Staat New York. Von ihr stammt das Gedicht auf dem Bild.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Der deutsche Lyriker Rilke wurde 1875 in Prag geboren. Er reiste sehr viel und ließ sich davon zu seinen Werken inspirieren. Er gilt als einer der bedeutendsten Dichter der Moderne. Er starb 1926.
Allen Ginsberg
Allen Ginsberg war ein zentraler Teil der Beant Generation in den USA. Er wurde 1926 in Newark gestorben und starb 1997 in New York. Zu seinen berühmtesten Erzeugnissen zählt The Hole. Er war unter anderem mit William S. Borroughs befreundet.
Emily Dickinson
Dickinson wurde 1830 in Massachusetts geboren. Sie starb 1886, ihre Gedichte erschienen erst nach ihrem Tod.
I felt a Funeral, in my Brain,
And Mourners to and fro
Kept treading – treading – till it seemed
That Sense was breaking through –
And when they all were seated,
A Service, like a Drum –
Kept beating – beating – till I thought
My mind was going numb –
And then I heard them lift a Box
And creak across my Soul
With those same Boots of Lead, again,
Then Space – began to toll,
As all the Heavens were a Bell,
And Being, but an Ear,
And I, and Silence, some strange Race,
Wrecked, solitary, here –
And then a Plank in Reason, broke,
And I dropped down, and down –
And hit a World, at every plunge,
And Finished knowing – then –
– I felt a Funeral in My Brain, Emily Dickinson –
