Abstract

âThe Saxon School of Poets is dead: Long live the New Saxon School of Poets.â This changing of the guard involves both continuation and innovation of the poetics of the âold guardâ. Indeed, the âyoung(-er)â poets â such as Thomas RosenlÃ¶cher, Barbara KÃ¶hler, Michael WÃ¼stefeld, Richard PietraÃ, Jayne-Ann Igel and Kerstin Hensel â inevitably oriented themselves towards topics that during the âWendeâ had become issues of current affairs. At the same time, however, an intimate connection with the values and characteristic aspects of the texts of the previous generation can be detected: the preservation of an alliance of friendship that had proven resistant and had manifested itself in the form of literary correspondences. Dialogicity, however, is not solely a poetic matter but proves to be of a much broader nature since it also consists of a political attitude and existential vigour. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, and in the early twenty-first century, this provides an opportunity to expand possibilities of communication. Poetic dialogue has become an existential issue among the poets of the âOldâ and âNewâ Saxon School of Poets, thus coming close to a search for identity. This chapter will demonstrate the tenacity of this cultural endeavour on different levels, a quality that has not diminished since the late 1970s but has constantly renewed itself.
