Judith Hennemann
Judith Hennemann was born in Papenburg/Ems in 1975. Today she lives in Frankfurt am Main and works, besides her literary work, as an industrial socioligist in a production company. She writes poetry and plays and has had numerous publications in magazines and anthologies, such as in »L. Der Literaurbote«, »DAS GEDICHT«, »außer.dem«, »Versnetze«, as well as on every important lyric-platform on the internet (for example fixpoetry.com) and the radio.
Her play »Androguards« was staged by Sascha Weipert in the Frankfurter Autorentheater (2014/resumption 2015). She was among the first of the »4. lauter niemand preises für politische lyrik« and received the jury prize of the »Hochstadter Stier« in 2014.
»Bauplan für etwas anderes« is her first publication of poems, which I as a publisher am really pleased to have in my program.

»Better not wait on King Tide« poetically processes reports on the nuclear weapons tests conducted by the USA on the Marshall Islands in the Pacific Ocean between 1946 and 1958. Against the backdrop of rising sea levels and the associated danger both for the island chain itself and its inhabitants and for the already fragile »Runit Dome« in which the radioactive »final« waste from the tests was collected, this extreme example raises the question of the systemic effects of our treatment of the biosphere.
Located far from our continent, the island chain demonstrates the devastating effects of nuclear technology, which has just been declared sustainable in the EU taxonomy, even without its use in the form of weapons. The »Runit Dome« embodies a prognosis for the search for the nuclear repository in Germany and Europe as a whole.
How slowly ten days can pass by, how quickly
these miles sum up. Will you allow me to rest
my hand on your thigh, if I drive temperately?
You left me and all these cookies in appropriate
spots: Car keys and toothbrush, pieces of white
and black laundry, curled up in a drum. Orbiting
one another. No shut-eye for the machines since
you’re gone. They remain in place. Whispering
your incantations to complicated little things.
Pulling me closer.
How does poetry and how do we deal with irreversibility in our language? – These poems are not playing with some acrobatic llinguistic possibilities – here, poetry is virtually called upon to work on our language. Judith Hennemann does that.

Judith Hennemann’s debut volume from 2017 was a wonderful success and has meanwhile reached its third edition, after »Bauplan für etwas anderes« [»Construction plan for something else«] was presented, for example by Gregor Dotzauer of the Berliner Tagesspiegel, as one of the most important 10 poetry volumes of 2017. Now follows her second volume of poetry. In »All die goldenen Hunde« [»All the golden dogs«] Judith Hennemann continues her special form of poetry from technical-industrial language.
Like »Bauplan für etwas anderes«, the new volume is also structured in larger chapters and provides orientation in a poetic structuring of our present, of which Marko Dinic notes on www.fixpoetry.com: »Hennemann always finds a way out of the thicket of the data-saturated image flurry of a 21st century.«

The debut of poet Judith Hennemann is a strictly composed book. It’s her first, which leaves all of us in great expectations after her publications of single poems in magazines and on every important platform for literature.
The poems are rubricated in six chapters: Rauputz, Mannheimer Stunden, Rekonstruktion eines Flugkörpers, Bauplan für etwas anderes, Der Albino unter den Nächten and Ich pfeife auf die intellektuelle Würde der Melancholie. These titles already hint at the aethetics and topics Judith Hennemann creates. The poet draws her images out of a variety of worlds, of technical processes and the current youth movement, the history of science and marketing strategies and many more areas.
