In the organizer's words:

Between candlelight and fairy lights, the Cologne writing collective [in brackets] will be reading literary works at Café Hempies at the end of the year.
In the last weeks of the year, we will once again wrap our words around each other and dance between the lines into other worlds.

Whether short story, novel excerpt or poem: we put square brackets around the year 2025 and read freshly printed works on the subject of "getting out of hand".

We also say goodbye to our founding member Amy Pearl Douglas, who will be setting off for new shores next year.
