Leisure

I write experimental poetry and prose fiction and participated in Studio Literatur und Theater (2014-2019), Bayerische Akademie des Schreibens (2020-2022), and the open poems by Haus für Poesie (2021-2022). I was a finalist in the 29th open mike in 2021, the audio proof of which can be found here. My poetry appeared, amongst others, in Jahrbuch der Lyrik 2023, my experimental prose in IDIOME. Hefte für neue Prosa nr. 16 (2023). I recently read from my poetry at Literaturhaus Berlin, Lettretage, Lyrikhandlung am Hölderlinturm Tübingen, Schillers Gartenhaus Jena, and the 25th international poesiefestival Berlin. I used to write a column on social policy, 'Marktverzagen', for Relevant Magazin (illustrations by the magnificent Jolanda Zürcher) and I wrote philosophy essays for Die Funzel (print only) and Cogito. I'm a great fan of Otto Neurath and The Notwist. I also enjoy all sorts of hard cheese, one very specific curry-mango-papaya spread as well as Georgian and Indian cuisine. Occasionally, I spend a lot of time hiking. I'm engaged in politics and once ran for a seat on the municipal council.
