Ein Abend mit Thomas Kade und Thorsten Trelenberg

In the organizer's words:

The five books with poems and stories on a wide variety of topics such as nature, war, love and city life show the intensive collaboration between Kade and Trelenberg as authors and editors.

For over ten years, they have been organizing projects and publishing books, doing readings and literary walks together. The most recent publication in particular, "Das Elend von Krieg und Liebe" (The misery of war and love), is highly topical and deals with the causes, crimes and possibilities of love in the many wars in poems, without placing the blame on any particular party or country. The "Lesebuch Thorsten Trelenberg" presents a selection from his work (as does the "Lesebuch Thomas Kade", which was published in 2022). The latest books by Kade and Trelenberg - both the joint and the individual publications - contain important and topical statements on various problems and phenomena of our time and our city.
