Abstract

Kerstin Hensel is a master of the lyric form. As early as 1986, first poems of hers appeared in volume 222 of the legendary Poesiealbum series, alongside such prominent figures as Heinrich Heine, Friedrich HÃ¶lderlin, Marina Tsvetaeva, Paul Celan and Charles Baudelaire. From the very beginning her poetry has been characterised by a disrespectful treatment of the literary tradition, leading to subversive shifts of focus and defamiliarising changes of emphasis. A programmatic practice of reinterpretation and transformation is visible everywhere, in which morality and value systems are called into question by means of parody, satire and the grotesque.

The poetâs unrestrained enjoyment of this kind of metamorphosis is demonstrated with particular reference to the collections Schleuderfigur and Cinderella rÃ¤umt auf. The findings are tested in, and underpinned by, an interview the author of this chapter held with Kerstin Hensel in January 2021.
