Summary
The german word Dichtung is broader in meaning than the term “poetry” and names different literary productions, including novels and plays. The verb dichten means “to compose.” Heidegger expands on the meanings of this term and uses it in, at least, four different senses, which are interconnected and overlapping with each other.
