The following article deals with the presentation of the fundamentals of the relatively young conception of mature writing within the contemporary German-language literature using the examples of two volumes of poetry by Marion Poschmann Nimbus and Esther Kinsky´s Schiefern. The question is to what extent a further development of „writing from experience of nature“ can be observed in these works. Within the reading proposed here, the focus of interest is less the concept of nature than a form of the concept of being, which is based on Heideggers´s existential ontology. Finally, the question is examined, whether it is really a new „poetry of the Anthropocene“, as has been claimed for Poschmann´s work.
