Two authors, or to be more precise: one author and one writer, meet at a loose distance at Neuer See in Berlin – Inka Bach and Michael Wäser contemplate the landscape between Großer Stern and Landwehrkanal, which has taken on an intermediate state, half natural growth, half park: Berlin Tiergarten, certainly one of the most interesting spots on the German map in terms of urban history. These observations are the basis for two poems each, which the two write after each visit. And above this, other things are drawn into their observations, and from there into their poem pairs ... Michael Wäser begins these in his first poem with the lines
The shore is not deep enough, I thought
Not deep enough for what, I thought
What for, I thought ...
and Inka Bach concludes it all with the lines from her last poem
... But after one year
meeting after meeting at irregular intervals
we still marvel at each other.
A picture of the city of Berlin and its history in 24 pairing poems and a very special poetry course.
