In the book cosmos of Christoph Meckel (1935-2020), dedications and annotations are signs of an artistic substance between image and word. Three contributions explore the fascination of Meckel's estate library: Gila Funke-Meckel talks about "Biographical notes in the weathered inventory", Adela Sophia Sabban reconstructs "Christoph Meckel's network of living and dead poets" and Marit Heuß presents and discusses the "Dedications Sarah Kirsch - Christoph Meckel".
WHAT IS THE AMBER
the answer has never begun and continues, it lasts a light year or a second, a butterfly's death, an eternal night; it can drag on through hundreds of seasons, through nine times nine human memories, reports, legends -
(Song in amber, third poem from: Christoph Meckel: Gesang vom unterbrochenen Satz, 1995, Hanser Verlag)
An event from the series "Schaufenster Archiv", in cooperation with the Literaturforum im Brecht-Haus.
