Die Gier im Giersch
In the organizer's words:
Jan Wagner, born in 1971, is one of the most important German poets of our time - and also an essayist and critic, editor of important poetry anthologies and translator of English-language poetry, for example by Charles Simic or Michael Hamburger. In his current volume "Regentonnenvariationen", Wagner writes insightful and elegant poems about greed in goutweed, traces koi, otters and dachshunds with a sense of form and closeness to nature - only to then write another poem about hairdressers or soap.
