Literature

Reading & discussion as part of the LiteraTOUR Nord | Moderation: Dr. Stephan Lesker (University of Rostock)

She leaves behind three children and a hyphen. She leaves me her friends, her library, her unease. I write after her as a missing daughter, an angry woman, a silenced poet and wonder how little she lets herself be summoned when I want her to. She has - now heavenly - finally emancipated herself. I write about my multifaceted mother, her wisdom and comedy, her husband, the thing with the guinea pigs and myself.

Nora Gomringer, born in 1980, is Swiss and German. She is a poet,
filmmaker and writes and speaks for radio, television and feature pages.
opera libretti and theater works, as well as numerous collaborations with visual
artists make her one of the best-known poets of her generation. Her
works have been translated into numerous languages. In 2025 she will receive the Kassel
Literature Prize for grotesque humor.
