View Rights PortalAls »Expressionist« unter den zeitgenössischen Dichtern ist es nicht erstaunlich, wenn Albert Ostermaier sich der Sportart zuwendet, die an die Emotionen vieler Menschen rührt, dem Fußball. Als »klassischen« unter den zeitgenössischen Dichtern versteht es sich von selbst, dass er die strenge Form variiert: die Ode. Bekannt geworden ist vor allem Albert Ostermaiers Ode an den »Titan«, den Torhüter Oliver Kahn: »wenn er beim eckball wie ein blonde katze aus dem tor stürmt auf einer welle der begeisterung durch die blauen lüfte fliegt«. Die Weltmeisterschaft bildet den Anlass, um eine Auswahl seiner Fußball-Gedichte zu veröffentlichen – illustriert von dem Fußball-Narr Florian Süßmayr.
