Literature group Poseidon presents texts on collapse and departure
May 8, 2025, marked the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe. It marked the complete defeat of the Nazi dictatorship—militarily, politically, ideologically, and morally. Destruction and surrender were simultaneously followed by the dawn of a new era of peace, freedom, and democracy.
The Poseidon literary group will address this upheaval in a reading on Thursday, October 9, at the Literaturhaus Darmstadt (Kasinostraße 3). The authors will approach the topic through various literary forms—essays, poems, short stories, and eyewitness accounts.
Participants include Finn Holitzka, Frank Schuster, Iris Welker-Sturm, Barbara Zeizinger, Fritz Deppert, Jutta Janzen, Andreas Roß, Dorit Zinn, Marc Mandel, Gerty Mohr, Bastian Kienitz, and Marina D'Oro. PH Gruner will provide the introduction.
The reading begins at 7 p.m. Admission is free, but donations are welcome. The evening is jointly organized by the Science City of Darmstadt, the FrankfurtRheinMain Cultural Region, and the Poseidon Literary Group.
