KEYWORDS: Georg Trakl, Ludwig von Ficker, Karl Kraus, Martin Heidegger, Der Brenner, Expressionism
This article will explore how the poetic techniques of Georg Trakl can be understood to relate to the cultural concerns of the 1910s, showing at the same time how the version of poetry that he came to represent - that of literature as a special, and not immediately accessible language for articulating an unacknow- ledged, unknown, or even unknowable truth - continued to be influential all the way through the twentieth century, particularly as it was
elaborated
by Heidegger in his essays on Trakl in the 1950s.
