Hi Jens, I will have to cloak the meta commentary with another quote which illustrates to a great extent my opinion. It is from Shohat’s and Stam’s ‘Unthinking Eurocentrism’ (and while they talk of representation […]

PS: I listen to a lot of slam poetry (mostly polit.) but since I am writing my thesis (and the conversation between me and my paper goes a la Kafka: “KILL ME OR YOU ARE A MURDERER”), I end up unwinding with funny, […]

Hi Jens, thanks for taking the time to read/listen to these things. Philip is grandiose, so as many people get to know her work, as many worlds will collapse, and that is for a good reason. I perform my slam […]

you are so very welcome; it is a masterpiece both in its urgency and its utter destruction of the world

Thank you for setting the tone (and I would also say: the light in the room for certain discussions entail full darkness and a scream to cut it). I will have to repeat myself (but one cannot repeat this enough) in […]

Good morning, Tom, I will inhabit a part of this ‘everyone’ for the question at hand; especially because it is an enquiry that concerns many of us and lies at the heart of struggles to disband Euro-centric […]

Good morning, Jens, thank you for raising the question of grammar. I guess I have always been fascinated by experimental attempts to exit the closures of language but ever since stumbling upon the radical […]

(the comment regards the beginning of this wonderful interview; due to technical reasons I cannot insert it on the right side of the text, sorry) Thank you for this remark, Nora. As for storylines, here is an […]

Thank you for this poetic and invigorating response! I like the fact that you see the capacity of places in a positive light; I think I don’t have this quality and flood myself with imagining spaces which […]

Thank you for this interview! I will use the space to ink an anecdote here which I guess relates to both Roland’s comment and your meditations on writing ‘the other’.
I took with me a German family (not as a […]

Good morning, Ronald. I agree that writing and reading dance together; personally I would fall if the one isn’t there to leg me up. At the beginning of this interview is Morrison’s take on the inter-dependency […]

Dear Nyana, please forgive the wrongfully inserted comment above (I hope the admins will be kind and remove it). It is great to hear that writing has rolled its sleeves up and is eager to push, keep it up and […]

Dear Ian, thank you, once again you draw a field with impossible flowers. Being two writers at once, yes, what an inner contrast, what a great misery and bliss! I agree with you, some ideas cannot be translated […]

Hi Ian, do you think you say the same things in English and in German? Does something get lost in-between? And if so, could fragments of personality/character be translated and mis-translated in such ‘double […]

I agree that traveling expands the vastness which pushes under ribcages, and minds, and some stories, too. But I cannot say that home is always a place of well-being; rather a space of being itself (Camus would […]

Thank you for this elaborate and thought-provoking text, Deborah (can you also let us know who is the author of these magnificent and intriguing images, please). Concerning the ‘place slippage’ or what you called […]

Good and inspiring morning, Nikolas. Thank you for your response and the website suggestion. If I would have to choose an image from the writersatwork platform to correspond to my personal writing retreat, it […]

To start off, let me just express my delight to participate in this project and tag it with a welcoming enthusiasm to read and hear from all of you.
I would also like to thank you for sharing with us […]
