Description
Summary:	The essay analyses the marine metaphors of Enzensberger’s poetry. In the poems prevails the evocation of a primary and elementary relationship with nature, undisturbed by technique and civilisation. The first phase of this relationship is distinguished by an utopian character which, from the mid-Sixties, starts to be reduced by the consolidation of an argumentative line with a ‘kulturkritisch’ character centred on the images of shipwreck and death by water. During the Eighties, the initial utopian enthusiasm regains strength and the use of marine metaphors is accompanied by the evocation of a European and transnational community as an opportunity of civil regeneration.
