Synopsis

Now published chapterbook based on the infamous Das GEDICHT Magazine. History: Das GEDICHT [ɡəˈdɪçt] About this sound (help·info)(German lit.The Poem), established 1993, is the largest poetry magazine in the German-speaking world. It was founded by the poet and publisher Anton G. Leitner together with Ludwig Steinherr. Between 1994 and 2007, Leitner served as its sole editor. Since 2008, Leitner has edited the annual periodical with changing co-editors. Context German - in comparison to English - being a relatively small language, periodicals, almanacs, and anthologies play an important role in negotiating the most current developments in its contemporary poetry. For this reason, DAS GEDICHT takes a central role in giving new and established voices a forum. It makes new trends in the aesthetics of poetic production visible. The magazine is also indicative of the trends in the ways in which poetry is received by the contemporary German-speaking audience.
