Ulmer Lyriksommer: Weaving & Quaking - Language in Poetry and Prose

Martina Hefter, who lives in Leipzig, is a guest at the Ulm Poetry Summer for the first time. Hefter, who was recently awarded the German Book Prize, will read from her poetry collections ‘Es könnte auch schön werden’ and ‘In die Wälder gehen, Holz für ein Bett klauen’ as well as from her award-winning novel ‘Hey guten Morgen, wie geht es dir?’. The discussion will focus on whether her narrative or lyrical voice is stronger and how both genres succeed together.
