POETISCHE BILDUNG: TOLLPATSCH LEMMEL - Lyrikempfehlungen für Kinder 2024: Lesung der Preisträger:innen

In the organizer's words:

Cheeky and innocent little lamb, his head always full of knishes and compote! Clumsy Lemmel is a heart-warming mixture of Michel from Lönneberga and the "Chelmer Schildbürgern". Six poems make up the lovingly crafted cycle about Lemmel and his rascals, with the lyrical spectrum ranging from rhymed stories to nonsense poetry. Leyb Kvitko, born near Odessa in the early 1890s, was one of the leading Jewish authors in Eastern Europe until his murder. The publisher and literary mediator Myriam Halberstam will read for classes from the book, which was selected this year by the German Academy for Language and Poetry and the House of Poetry for the "Poetry Recommendations for Children", and will introduce the beauty of the Yiddish language in a joint workshop with Karla Montasser.
