| Description | In the late 1960s, a group of young people naturally grew up on the basis of their classmates in the schools of Prague's Hanspaulka district, who more or less unconsciously, intuitively began to publish a number of samizdat magazines and poetry collections, to organize community festivals, joint trips outside of Prague, to form musical groups, to meet regularly in specific pubs for collective poetry readings, etc. The poetic production of the Hansepoles, although relatively rich and tightly bounded in terms of themes and genres, varied considerably in quality. It was influenced by the work of the Beat Generation, Dadaist playfulness and blues poetics; on the one hand strongly literary ambitious, on the other bordering on insistence. Yet it was a cohesive poetic ecosystem in which all these expressions came together in the pages of samizdat periodicals or jointly published almanacs, and which thus acted as one of the fundamental pillars of the identity of the whole group. We will show how mutual interaction, inspiration, and evocation of the environment and of specific community members can identify a community through poetry. |
