Stéphane Mallarmé’s dictum »verses are not made with ideas but with words« is one of the basic positions of Manfred Röschlau – and is likewise the slogan of his first poetry volume. Manfred Röschlau began to write in the early 90s although economic topics and situations of the working environement were the focal point. Heinz Erhardt, Theo Lingen, Christian Morgenstern are the satirists who he names as a guiding principle. Peter Handke offending the audience and Robert Gernhard’s art of the punchline are the examples which form the caprioles of his own poems.
THE BENCHMARK
The benchmark – when one is inaugurated,
tells something about long and broad,
how high the woods, how broad the country,
how deep the sea, how wet the sand.
But if one scales the human aspect,
the benchmark gets into lies,
at least out of step.
Too many have a say in here.
Congenially is the cover illustration made by the renowened belgian illustrator Johan de Moor: headfirst Röschlau plunges into current topics, nonetheless he calmly relishes his pipe and he doesn’t care if the rope on which he hangs his poems is too thick or too thin. – Manfred Röschlau’s sketch-pad increases despite the current publications and lets expect some more effrontery.
