Poetrytramp (a combination of the Middle English words tramp and poetry (latter from the Greek 'poiesis'/ποίησις , a making: forming, creating, or the art of poetry, or a poem) was created by the German poet, philosopher, translator and performing artist Natias Neutert for himself and as his own label. Origin He still uses it by his public readings as a modern substitute and synonym for the old-fashionable French word „Vagabond which is associated not only with Charlie Chaplin and his film starring figure “The Vagabond“ but likewise with Francois Villon, French poet, thief, and vagabond. The Chaplin’s kids once amused themselves over Natias Neutert’s art pieces — „long time ago: on the lawn area of their enormous garden in Vevey. Philosophy The inner core of his philosophy: Neutert does not accept anything for given — „as I learned it from my most important philosophical teacher“ — Pippi Longstocking!“ as he formulated once. Under this aspect of Pop and in agreement with Gilles Deleuze Neutert uses to create and to form new surprising <Begriffe>, technical terms. As a thinker he calls himself for example a plein air-philosopher, as creator of rhymed and free verses he calls himself a poetrytramp. From this attitude he created and introduced Sympathy as music term, too. Another example is his lecture The absent, which is always present — a meditation about death — held at the Austrian ‚Philosophicum Lech.’ It was „contentwise an improvisation formally a performance, which indicates that one achieves listeners with free speech more easily than with read out.“ Poetry And laced with Deleuzian innuenndo Neutert called his first bigger tour 1979 The poet tumbles into freedom. Still hitchhiking often from place to place, he performs the whole range of his extraordinarily abilities on the road, in shabby cellar bars or on stage of municipal theatres and operas, predominantly given as a real standup — a Diogenes figure from our time. A lot of his verbally presented, but not printed poems circulate as handwritten copies or as video recordings among the people — see external links.
