The uncertainty of nature. The poetry of Michael Donhauser and Hans-Ulrich Treichel

Poetry about nature is a reflexion on both the human being and society in the images of nature. In the light of two authors, this article analyses the relationship between contemporary man and nature: Michael Donhauser seeks to reanimate nature on the basis of discours theorie and thereby create a world for himself; Hans-Ulrich Treichel, with characteristic distance and full of black humour, shows the absurdities of the Zeitgeist.
