Songful, deutschyzno disfigures the Mickiewicz incipit "Litwo! Ojczyno ..." ("Lithuania! Fatherland ...") from Pan Tadeusz, considered a Polish national epic. The Germanised vocative of loss no longer has anything to do with nostalgia in its prefigured transcription. It targets language and titles a heteroclitic collection of poems, icon clones and collages whose lowest common denominators are displacement and metagram. An essential part of the volume is the cycle "das pulmal in vatis klematis", which emerged from a preoccupation with the Polish-Jewish pilpul (from "pilpel", "to pepper"). In the beginning, there was a question that has troubled scoffers for centuries: Why does Pontius Pilate go into the praetorium in John 18.33 before judging Jesus outside? In the 9th century, Otfrid von Weissenburg was the first to allow himself the joke of translating praetorium in a gloss as sprâchhûs - synonymous with "abort". - Dagmara Kraus.
