Improved Versions: Feminist Poetics And Recent Work By Ulla Hahn And Ursula Krechel, Charlotte Melin

Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature

This essay analyzes how Ulla Hahn and Ursula Krechel in their recent poetry and essays have drawn a connection between feminism and their writing. The feminine/feminist outlook they advance is exemplary for their generation of women authors because they have sought to expand the poetic canon by interrogating assumptions made by modernism. A reappraisal of their poetry suggests that interpretations of their work must take account of the feminist poetics of these authors.
