Book presentation with musical improvisation on May 7th – free admission
The Literaturhaus Darmstadt invites you to a book presentation by poet Manon Hopf . The author, a member of the Darmstadt Text Workshop and recipient of the 5th Gerlingen Poetry Prize in 2024, will present her new collection of poems, "hier steht dein mensch. verwandlungen" (here stands your human being. Transformations) .
The central question is how to approach the animal world through language: How can we talk about animals – and what can we learn from them? The poetry collection questions the boundaries of the Anthropocene and seeks points of contact between humans, animals, language, and music.
Dina Kehl creates a special atmosphere Kurt Drawert will moderate .
The event will take place at the Literaturhaus Darmstadt (Kasinostraße 3) . Admission is free.
