Paul-Henri Campbell Livres

„Space Race“ ist die Summe der Raumfahrt des 20. Jahrhunderts in Versen. Paul-Henri Campbell greift Momente wie den Sputnik Schock, den Tod von Juri Gagarin, die Apollo-Missionen zum Mond oder die Explosionen der Raumfähre Challenger als Elemente des großen Mythos der Gegenwart auf. Dabei gelingen ihm zugleich bezaubernde und bizarre Verschmelzungen von Hochtechnologie, Literatur, Mythologie, Geschichte und Religion. Der zweite Band aus Campbells Trilogie „Sounding Out Today“ vereint deutsche und amerikanische Gedichte und spiegelt damit die Position des bilingualen Autors der Gedichte zwischen den Welten wieder. „Space Race“ retraces space exploration in lyrical verse. Paul-Henri Campbell has taken historic moments, such as the Sputnik Shock, the death of Yuri Gagarin, the Apollo Space Program, or the Challenger disaster, and has transformed these milestones into elements of a great modern day mythology. In doing so, he has succeeded in fusing technology with literature, history with myth, and religion with the heavens in ways that are as bizarre as much as they are enchanting. This second volume in Campbell's trilogy „Sounding Out Today“ has brought together German and American poems into one book, testifying to the bilingual author's position that is somewhere between these worlds.

gewidmet. Der Mensch, der heute mit einer chronischen körperlichen Anfechtung zu ringen hat, ist ein permanenter oder zumindest periodischer Gast der Klinik. Er verbindet sich mit Maschinen, die sein irritiertes inneres Regen messen, verbindet sich mit geregelten Abläufen ärztlicher Behandlung, und ist deren Herausforderung. Schreibend sich darin zu behaupten, gegen die Frist des instabilen Seins, ist ein Aufruhr von nackter Diesseitigkeit. Der Defekt und die Apparate und Verfahren seiner Beschwichtigung werden Teil der Selbstverständigung. Sie zu beschreiben, zu benennen, ihrem Rumoren einen Vers abzugewinnen, ist das Bemühen, mit dem eigenen Ausdruck im Leben zu sein. Am Puls der Zeit statt am Piepen der Herzrhythmuskontrolle – beide Takte sind im Gedicht verstrickt, um die Narkose zu verlassen. Neben den Gedicht-Zyklen »nach den narkosen«, »plasma« und »medtronic KAPPA KSR 901«, die sich dem klinischen Dasein widmen, enthält der Band außerdem den Zyklus »gärten ohne menschen«, der durch die Institution der Grünanlage wandelt, diesem bürokratischen Reflex auf halbe Sehnsüchte nach Natur. Den Zyklus »martin heidegger schaltet das radio ein« treibt die Frage um nach der prometheischen Scham, ihrem Fehlen, in der Verwicklung von Technik und Philosophie. »digitales dharma, diptychen« versammelt Gedicht-Spaltungen zum Thema Sichtbarkeit und Unverfügbarkeit im Netz.
