Contributor Bio:  Kaufman, Alan Alan Kaufman ist in der Bronx, NY aufgewachsen und lebt heute in San Francisco. In den Neunzigerjahren entstand in den USA eine neue literarische Bewegung: Fast uber Nacht traten Spoken Word Poeten im ganzen Land an die Offentlichkeit. Begabte Autoren aus jenen Bevolkerungsschichten (Afro-Amerikaner, Obdachlose, Latinos, Juden, Asiaten, arbeitslose Weisse), die von der Harte der Reagan/Bush-Ara vor allem betroffen waren, artikulierten sich mit politisch engagierten Texten. In Lesungen und Auftritten im ganzen Land, in Underground-Auditorien, wie dem Wordland in San Francisco, der Green Mill Tavern in Chascago oder dem Nuyorican Poets Cafe in New York City berichtete diese neue Dichtergeneration von der Brutalitat und Harte des Uberlebenskampfes im Land der unbegrenzten Moglichkeiten. Ihre Botschaften wurden zum inoffiziellen Nachrichtendienst, zum CNN des Undergrounds, wie Alan Kaufman es einmal beschrieb. Werke von Alan Kaufman in englischer Sprache: Matches, a novel Drunken Angel, a memoir Jew Boy, a memoir Who Are We?, poems Straightjacket Elegies, poems The Outlaw Bible of American Poetry, an anthology The Outlaw Bible of American Literature, an anthology The Outlaw Bible of American Essays, an anthology The New Generation, an anthology In der Edition BAES ist 2013 der Gedichtband Zwangsjackenelegien in der Ubersetzung von Jurgen Schneider erschienen.
