The first part of this Introduction offers a brief chronology of Anne Duden’s life and publications and surveys topics in her poetological essay, ‘Vom Versprechen des Schreibens und vom Schreiben des Versprechens’ and in the critical essays gathered in this volume, most of which were first delivered as papers at a symposium on the work of Anne Duden held at the University of Nottingham in May, 2001. The second part explores places and spaces as poetic motifs in a recent essay by Anne Duden on the topic of Heimat, ‘A mon seul désir’, and in her volume of poems, Hingegend.
