This essay places Anne Duden’s short prose in her volumes Wimpertier, der wunde Punkt im Alphabet, and Zungengewahrsam in the tradition of modern German short prose transcending and transforming traditional genres (prose poem, prose sketch, ‘Denkbild’). Recurring themes, motifs and textual structures in Duden’s short prose writing are analysed in the light of her modernist adaptation of Romantic poetics (‘Gestalt aus Bewegung’), while the exploration of aesthetic experience in her essays is discussed with reference to Adorno’s concept of the essay as literary form.
