Peter-Huchel-Preis 2021 a Marcel Beyer
Siamo lieti di annunciare che Marcel Beyer si è aggiudicato il premio di poesia Peter Huchel per la sua raccolta Dämonenräumdienst ("Demon Removal Service"), pubblicato l'anno scorso da Suhrkamp.
Dalla motivazione della giuria:
»Marcel Beyer’s poems are adventurous expeditions into familiar territory that suddenly seems strange and eerie. The parental home and Elvis, childhood impressions, magical encounters and phenomena of pop culture and the heroes of the gossip columns – all of this is captured in Beyer’s strictly composed poems, put into extraordinary contexts, alienated and arranged anew through the means of quotes, collages, humour and ironic twists. The title Demon Removal Service is indeed meant to be taken literally. The ghosts of the most recent German past are invoked only to be whirled around and subjected to a poetic choreography: a clean-up operation in the mind’s eye of an inventive author.«
Il premio è dotato di € 10,000 ed è stato assegnato in passato a Durs Grünbein, Friederike Mayröcker, Michael Krüger, Marion Poschmann e Wolfgang Hilbig...
Sono liberi i diritti per l'Italia.
