Poetry

Influenced by Dada he started to write experimental poetry, first published in the journal Neue Wege ("New Ways") in 1952.

He was the life partner of Friederike Mayröcker. In 1973 he co-founded the Grazer Autorenversammlung in Graz, became its vice president in 1975 and was its president from 1983 to 1987.

His poems are characterized by German language word play, often at the level of single characters or phonemes. For example, his famous univocalic poem "ottos mops" (in English, "otto's pug") uses only the vowel "o". Of course, poems like this cannot easily be translated into other languages.

Most of his poems are better heard than read. His lectures were always known as very impressive events, because of the particular way he pronounced his poems. Poems like "schtzngrmm" (his version of the word "Schützengraben" which describes the trenches of the World War I) can be understood only if read correctly. It is an experimental poem in which he tells the sounds of war only with combinations of letters, which sound like gunfires or detonating missiles.[1]

He translated Gertrude Stein, Robert Creeley's The Island, and John Cage's Silence.

Some other of his best-known poems are "lichtung" (also known as "lechts & rinks" [sic], in English "light & reft") and "kneiernzuck".

[de] Ernst Jandl

Ernst Jandl (* 1. August 1925 in Wien; † 9. Juni 2000 ebenda) war ein österreichischer Dichter und Schriftsteller. Jandl wurde vor allem durch seine experimentelle Lyrik in der Tradition der Konkreten Poesie bekannt, durch visuelle Poesie und Lautgedichte wie schtzngrmm oder falamaleikum, die durch den Vortrag besondere Wirksamkeit entfalten. Jandls Werk war stets vom Spiel mit der Sprache bestimmt und spannte einen Bogen von politischer Lyrik wie wien: heldenplatz und zertretener mann blues bis zu komischen Sprachspielen wie ottos mops und fünfter sein. Das Spätwerk wurde in der Form konventioneller und im Inhalt schwermütiger, enthielt aber weiterhin den für Jandl typischen Sprachwitz von Gedichten wie bibliothek oder glückwunsch. Neben Lyrik schrieb Jandl Prosatexte, mehrere Hörspiele sowie zwei Theaterstücke und übersetzte Autoren aus dem Englischen. Zu Jandls Popularität trugen seine Lesungen bei, die auf zahlreichen Schallplatten veröffentlicht wurden, sowie die künstlerische Zusammenarbeit mit Jazz-Musikern.
