Unterwegs bis zum Horizont - Amir Shaheen liest Lyrik, Kolumnen, Satirisches

In the organizer's words:

On the road to the horizon - the best of 30 years
Amir Shaheen reads poetry, columns, satirical pieces and talks about his literary work

Amir Shaheen's first volume of poetry, Unterwegs an all den Stränden (On the Way to All the Beaches), was published 30 years ago; the most recent is entitled Vor uns ein Horizont (Before Us, a Horizon). In 2026, the author celebrates his 60th birthday and invites you to a special reading: a best-of of his most popular texts.

Amir Shaheen has published over 380 poems in his own poetry collections, magazines and anthologies, as well as on the internet and radio. His poems "Flughafen" and "Engelwind" were included in Der Große Conrady, and he received the postpoetry NRW prize for "Sediment". "Hansa Pils" appeared in the anthology Stadtlandfluss and was broadcast several times by WDR.

Shaheen was also nominated for the Nettetal Literature Prize as a prose writer. With Ich bin kein Ausländer, ich heiße nur so and the satirical relocation report Noch zweimal einpacken bis Südterrasse, he has delighted audiences at readings in numerous cities.

So why not look for the tap hole plug in the DIY store once again and marvel at his one-word poetry? "The sofa has to come too", of course! And "Spelling with a migration background"? Definitely! Older texts return once again - perhaps for the last time.

An evening full of rediscoveries, subtle nuances and literary surprises.
