Lesung: "hinter der flut blauer firnis"

In the organizer's words:

In her new book "Zur Stunde Blau",Anke Glasmacher embarks on a search for language: blue, the poetic color of longing and transience, is not only a reference to linguistic images by Georg Heym, Hilde Domin and Else Lasker-Schüler, among others, but also stands as a symbol for the particular speechlessness of our time.

"As it is" is the title Simone Scharbert gives her lyrical essays on Instagram and also in her current texts, in which she has preserved "found and flooded pieces" from the flooded Erftstadt-Blessem. Images that weave themselves into the memory of the flood disaster in July 2021 and give hope, not only to the people who shouldered this catastrophe.

The three poets take you on a poetic journey, sometimes serious, sometimes cheerful, sometimes comforting, sometimes sad, and present an artistic diversity of voices in today's poetry.
