Article Description

The article is dedicated to less known poems by Ernst Jandl, which were created in the second half of the 70s. These poems arose interest because they verify to great extent the author's image, who until that moment had been known to a wider audience mainly as a language player. The extremely pessimistic character of the poems is emphasized by the original poetic form, which the author himself calls "run-down language". This article is written in an attempt to reconstruct the lyric Self, which being on the verge of falling apart, tries to appear as a coherent whole.
