BRINKMANNS ZORN
The German poet Rolf Dieter Brinkmann died at the age of 35 in an accident in London in April 1975. He left behind a voluminous, unfinished work-in-progress that included many hours of documentary film material, audio recordings and thousands of photographs. The film, Brinkmanns Zorn, incorporates portions of this existing material with new scenes shot in Cologne. Considered to be one of the most important poets of post-war Germany, Brinkmann's work is definitely in the marginal outsider vein, approximating a sort of hybrid of Frank O'Hara, William Burroughs, and W.C. Williams, all of whom were important influences on Brinkmann's work. His permanent confrontation with the post-war German literary establishment and his envelope-pushing experiments with language and mixed-media led him further and further away from the literary scene, finally resulting in an self-imposed exile which he pursued until shortly before his death.
