Atem-Rhythmus

German. Rfv-sense: It doesn't seem that this word is used in a special sense in poetry, but just seems like this author used the word in a general way just meaning that the poems are read with a rhythm caused by natural breathing, and not with artificial punctuation, but it doesn't seem like it is a separate meaning, and I couldn't find anything in dictionaries or online showing any.

@Eric Schiefelbein: You couldn’t as this is for that “Modern Poetry” in the 1960–1980s—not invented by this author. A lot of lofty talk in “contemporary” literary science contexts we are easily too dull for, one, two. How is it not a special sense if it is not the literal sense of Atemrhythmus applied to breathing with your lungs? At some point there must be a separate sense, though there are some other figurative ones which are vague, not contoured enough to be a separate sense, p. 67 :

›Lebendgebärend‹ (ebd., 109) lautet das Attribut, das Georg Kerschensteiner diesem neuen, vom Spiel inspirierten Typus des Arbeitens verleiht – weil nicht mehr nur die Arbeit ›lebendig‹ ist, sondern bereits die Produkte dieser Arbeit selbst den Atemrhythmus einer Lebendigkeit teilen, deren Zeichen die Produktivität ist.

Unlike the one in question, which they tried to emphasize with the hyphen: You see, not even the quote I created the page with is found in corpora, as I quoted it from dead trees, which will have many more occurrences not in the digital corpora. But I think you got the definition here: A lyrical rhythm emphasizing natural breathing, or something like that. Modern art is a competition in dullness.
