with Clara Cosima Wolff

September 17, 2026, 7:00 p.m. 

The poetry debut “handreichung” by Dortmund’s current city chronicler will be published shortly. It explores dementia, the female experience of fear, and care work—each situated at the intersection of memory and forgetting. With visual playfulness, Wolff examines the relationship between literature and art, writing and imagery. Through a reading and discussion, she will offer insights into her creative process; “handreichung” takes on its literal meaning here: a gentle invitation or offer to participate in collective reading, to experience contemporary poetry together in a public setting.
