Poetic ProcessGeorg Trakl (18871914) has emerged as one of the most influential poets of the century. Kudszus both explores and participates in the relentless process of Trakls writing. Presumptions of objectivity, authority, dialogue, and coherence are questioned in a discourse that also involves Martin Heideggers philosophical reflections on Trakl, C. G. Jungs self analytical reading of James Joyces Ulysses, and the Bluebeard tale as related by Charles Perrault.
