Letter „H“
Henry Hills is in the process of making a film in and around the letter „H“ — and for that he is using my* homophonic translation of Harry (Heinrich) Heine’s „Die Lorelei,“ with images of the The Bronx Lorelei Foundation. I recorded a reading… Continue Reading „Letter „H““

The letter „r“
“On an old shore, the vulgar ocean rolls” The letter r is frequently indicated as a characteristic mark of vulgarity. “R. is the dog’s letter and hurreth in the sound.” (Ben Jonson, English Grammar, 1640). “R. Young pious RUTH / Left all for Truth.”… Continue Reading „The letter „r““
Singeth spells
“Singeth spells.” The poetry of Wallace Stevens makes me happy. This is the simple truth. Pleasure springs from the sense of fluid sound patterns phonetic utterance excites in us. Beauty, harmony, and order are represented by the arrangement, and repetition, of particular words on… Continue Reading „Singeth spells“
To Germany
Im September 1915 nahm Charles Sorley, mittlerweile zum Hauptmann befördert an der Schlacht bei Loos teil. Eine deutsche Kugel tötete ihn am 13. Oktober 1915. Kurz bevor er starb schrieb er im Schützengraben das Gedicht „To Germany – An Deutschland“. Sein hinterlassenes Werk wurde… Continue Reading „To Germany“
The Chaos
Deutsche Sprache, schwere Sprache? Fragen Sie doch mal die Briten, Australier oder US-Amerikaner. Selbst Muttersprachler verzweifeln manchmal an der uneinheitlichen Aussprache im Englischen. Bestes Beispiel dafür ist dieses Gedicht mit dem passenden Titel „The Chaos“. Der niederländische Sprachlehrer Gerard Nolst Trenité (1870-1946) verfolgte mit… Continue Reading „The Chaos“

Kampf der Ären
In The New Yorker we find Alec Wilkinson saying „Kenneth Goldsmith’s poetry elevates copying to an art—but did he go too far?“ while in The New Republic Cathy Park Hong takes issue not only with Goldsmith but with Wilkinson’s representation of the controversy surrounding Goldsmith’s reading, as a… Continue Reading „Kampf der Ären“

Stakend
Dann gleich an meine Neuübertragung von Pound-Properzens Prayer für his Lady‘s Life. Je länger ich mir Eva Hesses Übersetzung ansah, desto ärgerlicher wurde ich. Kann aber gar nicht sagen, weshalb mir ausgerechnet dieser Text so ans Herz ging, unmittelbar, ich las ihn bestimmt zehnmal und sprach… Continue Reading „Stakend“
Federer and O’Hara
In a piece in this Sunday’s New York Times, Gerald Marzorati examined the “mob-loud and unruly” support Roger Federer enjoyed at the recent U.S. Open. To try to explain why the tennis star has such a passionate, devoted following among New Yorkers, Marzorati made a surprising comparison — Federer actually embodies the… Continue Reading „Federer and O’Hara“
