Heidegger and poetry

Abstract

In Heidegger, the dialogue with poetry consists of an act of gibing to others, that preserves the words and its openness. The dialogue is settled between the thinker, who reads the poetry, and the poetry that gives itself in the writing (literature). Taking advantage of this "donatio", Heidegger uses poetry in his role of translator as well as of poet-writer. Keywords: Ereignis, Rede, Gestell, Gelassenheit.
