Katharina J. Ferner (Salzburg): “Salamanderin” (Limbus, 2025) – Multi-pronged relationships in dialect & standard language: “You carry the sea in your eyes / why do I need the swell / triggered by your look / Anna Maria’s voice drives / the tears out of your eyes / like other people’s callas”.

Jannes Hansen (Potsdam): “the sky beneath us” (KLAK Verlag, 2025) – one I, one you – a love story. A lyrical world unfolds here in which hope and despair, longing and loss touch each other. Dense, atmospheric poems contain the topography of a complex relationship that is reflected in words, sounds and images. He works as an author & musician. https://janneshansen.de/

Tim Holland (Berlin): “we hesitate, we burn” (Matthes & Seitz, 2022): “we swam. we ran. each being more than one self. we became a pack, a school, slowly a herd.” Tim reads from an unpublished long poem: The lyrical ego reports on its being thrown into a world that is characterized by crises and catastrophes and is primarily conveyed through the media - the ego lies, virtually motionless, comfortably in its own bed, and yet is constantly confronted with the images of the world. Holland is an author, literary agent and co-publisher of hochroth Verlag Munich. https://www.literaturport.de/lexikon/tim-holland/

Andrea Lütkewitz (Potsdam) is a native of East Frisia and lives in Potsdam.

Lutz Steinbrück (Berlin): “Stay as it never was” (KLAK Verlag, 2025) is the name of his fourth volume of poetry: “The freedom of those who live differently / is always acute / always stares a hole out of the wall / It won't let me go / another hole emerges from the hole / I stare back and it stabs me."
