Lütfiye Güzel, born in Duisburg in 1972, lives there as a poet and workshop leader. Her poems are full of melancholy and humor, she knows: "Man consists of over 70% water, the rest is fear". Die ZEIT called her "our Mona Lisa of contemporary German poetry": "Her verses are mysterious, and there is always a mischievous smile between the lines."
Her poems are not just for bookshelves, she also publishes, for example, sheets of paper in sandwich bags and poems on stickers. She received the Ruhr Literature Prize in 2017.
