This volume of Neuere Lyrik contains a selection of texts on Latin American poetry that focuses on its encounter at times direct and dialogic; at times indirect or even oppositional with foreign texts and traditions. The question it therefore raises is what constitutes the borders cultural, medial, discursive, linguistic, etc. of a poetic tradition to begin with, particularly today. While each text replies uniquely, their approaches can be broadly assigned to three distinct areas of inquiry: transcultural and transhistorical discourse; intermedial experimentation; and translation. Their attention to these liminal modes, moreover, prompts a remapping of poetry itself by asking how, in continually becoming foreign to itself, poetry is returned to its proper home.
