Hans Erich Nossack had written his poems for several years. He treated them as a study of dramatic forms that he soon abandoned as well in order to present his own contact with the reality in the prose at last. The poem Vorspruch und Frage [The prologue and the question] opening his only anthology Gedichte [Poems] establishes an index of the essential elements of this German writer's poetics. Just here, the connecting of the national socialism's context with many poems proofs a pertinent step because the meaning strata of separate expressions are unveiled deepest in that case only. The death that is anticipated by the feeling of timelessness and by the appaling silence (Gefangenenwärter [The jail-keeper]) becomes a rock for sensibility and autonomy of the individual. The meeting with the death, provoked by the inversion of the sequence of result and cause, appears as the last chance to be delivered from the space overwhelmed with the totalitarism (An den Tod [To the death]). That ist what makes the similarity to Matthias Claudius's poem with the same title who notes the final possibility to set the world free from the evil in the death. The death also intensifies the feelings derived from the life and can even draw some fife from the places suspected of its default (Der Tod [The death]) - the ability that arises in consequence of the shrinking of the reality after the losing of a near person in Rainer Maria Rilke's poem (Todes-Erfahrung [The experience of the death]). An attempt to stop the death contains the poem Ein Mädchen spricht mit dem Tod [A gril talks to the death] that the historical background venishes in and where the love calls up to fight for the life: The girl struck with that feeling is confronted with the power of the death that the heroine of the poem tenderly admonishes not to run in front of the life yet but to come back to its place and to locate itself behind the life.
