Poetry Slam

What does a farmer do in September? No idea! We, for one, are celebrating a birthday—our poetry slam is turning 15! For all this time, poetry and punchlines, poems and stories, loud and soft, madness and profundity have been flying like brightly colored sparks from the artificial turf over the garden fence. Rumor has it that, despite being in the throes of adolescence, he’s still got all his marbles and is thrilled as can be about the fantastic birthday lineup!

Competing for the anniversary cactus:

Rainer Holl (Leipzig)

Samson (Berlin)

Hank M. Flemming (Tübingen)

Nils Straatmann (Leipzig)

Among others

As always, the slam will be hosted by the “Inka Bause of poetry slam,” Dresden-based author Kaddi Cutz
