Gans Publishing Evening – featuring poetry

Carl-Christian Elze reads from the new edition of his collection “ich lebe in einem wasserturm am meer, was albern ist”, first published in 2013. Here, the words tingle, weave and touch the soul. Poems that come across as tender yet exuberant.

In his new poetry collection “Geisternetze”, Sascha Kokot showcases his city of Leipzig and writes about waiting for a child and notions of fatherhood.

With “Restaurant & Orchestre Touché”, Mathias Traxler practises frivolity with us, examines the sound of words, weighs them on the scales and asks: Does frivolity have the refrain to create stability in life?

After three slots, there’s a break.

Then Björn Hayer, Agnieszka Lessmann, Alexander Graeff and Alexander Kappe present their anthology of contemporary utopian poetry: „Aus einer geschützten Ecke heraus / läßt du den Raum entstehen“.

And like the cherry on the cake, Undine Materni and Ruth Habermehl honour the wonderful, creative women in craft trades with poems and collages.
