The RISSE editorial team invites you to the presentation of the 56th issue "ECKE" of the literary magazine RISSE.
Fate and luck - they are always lurking just around the corner. And in the new issue of RISSE,
that would like to think about the same in number 56 with new literature from all corners of MV.
Fourteen authors have made their mark. The poets are in the majority: Marianne
Beese, Steffen M. Diebold, Ulrich Grasnick, Stephan Langhans, Holger Lehmann, Arno Reis,
Johanna Sailer and Anke vom Sund. The prose also has fateful and happy corners and
edges: Burkhard Bartsch, Jürgen Landt, Anne Martin, Beat Mundwiler, Bernd Schick and Erik Wind.
Erich Kästner would say: "Something could happen at any corner."
Corners in series and a passion for structures can be found in the graphics of Rostock artist
Paul Seko. Helmuth Lethen wrote an unusual WIDERGELESEN on Bertolt Brecht,
. In WIDERGELESEN, Euphoricus and Dysphoricus argue over the
Goldstrand by Katerina Poladjan; LITERATURKRITIK is dedicated to books by Peter
Wawerzinek, Helene Bukowski and Barbara Honigmann and poetry by Kai Pohl and Bertram
Reinecke. As in real life, the Sepp Herberger saying applies: "The round must go into the square."
