Ich höre dem Regen zu · landläufiges lexikon

In the organizer's words:

In 2022, Nettetal-born Wolfgang Schiffer published his first book of poetry in a long time. "Dass die Erde einen Buckel werfe" (Elif Verlag) immediately made it onto the "Hotlist" for books from independent publishers and was also presented at our Literaturhaus in an impressive reading. He has now published two new volumes of poetry. "Ich höre dem Regen zu" (Elif-Verlag) and "Gespräche mit dem Enkel" (Corvinus Presse). In these books, the writer, translator and lecturer, who lives in Cologne and Prague, continues to worry about a world in disintegration. Defiance and sadness characterize his lines.

Our second guest, the Aachen poet Christoph Wenzel, also deals with at least questionable processes of change in our environment in his poems. He reads from his poetry collection "landläufiges lexikon" (Edition Korrespondenzen), "a book full of tragedies, full of beauty and love and also of witty humor" about the hinterland, the fraying transition zones and suburbs that were once villages.
