Mascha Kaléko Lesung

In the organizer's words:

Mascha Kaléko

A poet on the wings of longing

The young Mascha Kaléko conquered the hearts of city dwellers in Berlin during the Weimar Republic with her wonderfully tender poems, which spoke of her charm and humor. Her poetry is always infused with a

irony, but sentimentality does not suit her. This special mixture of melancholy and wit, coupled with timeless topicality and political acuity, gives Mascha Kaléko's poetry its irresistible appeal.

7 authors from the Dortmund Hörde writing workshop and the LiteraturRaum DortmundRuhr have been inspired by the texts and life of the poet Mascha Kaléko.

To mark the 50th anniversary of her death, they present poetry, prose and self-written songs.
