    Nyana Kakoma commented on the post, a report of the literature week 5 years, 11 months ago

    I loved reading The Long, Long River. So glad that I an Watson could let you publish it here!

    Are there people who live outside Bremen that come to this? Is there a space for publishers (and other authors) to […]

    “Get yourself a real job.” Because writing isn’t a real job? Maybe that should change to: Get yourself another job that can pay for eating, drinking and loving life before your writing eventually does.

    “On the […]

    Thanks so much for this, Tom. I would have to meet people who have successfully done it to decide if it is collapsing or isn’t. My concern is really the practicality of it. Say you’re a banker with an 8-5, Monday […]

    I am still teaching myself the discipline of sitting and writing. and not procrastinating under the guise of research and looking for inspiration. I hope one day I get it.

    Oh Jens! I am sorry you have been unwell. I hope you feel better pretty soon.

    I am very curious to see how different the recital is from what the rehearsal looked like. I’ll attend the show this evening and let […]

    Hi Tom, yes you got all that right.

    The poems do not change but the performance/delivery does as the feedback comes in. Please note that the people who recite the poems are not (in most cases) the people who […]

    This must be a very interesting but intense week for because of the literature week. How was the reading on Saturday? How was it for you as a moderator? I hope it is a huge success. Can not wait to […]

    So the Bremer Literaturkontor are literary agents as well?

    How are the workshops and mentoring of the writers and publication of anthologies funded?

    Wow, the virtual Literature house is so brilliant and I am so jealous! I love that it has all these programmes from published writers to schools! We do not have anything like that really.

    Last year, Babishai […]

    It should be according to your needs as a group; what you need to learn and improve. You could start by writing your writing goals as individuals and see how the group can help. For example one of us is writing a […]

    I did not understand a word Lars said but he seems very passionate and his delivery is good. I have been to a couple of poetry slams in Kampala by Open Mic Kampala and Poetry In Session and quite often […]

    Jens,
    I believe that poetry is much easier to perform. You can use music, lighting and even audience participation to make your poem memorable. But what about people like me who write prose? How do I read my […]

    Nyana Kakoma commented on the post, Creative Writing Workshops & Poetry Slams 6 years ago

    Joel, I don’t think writers should add that responsibility “writing in a way as teachers” to things they have to do. Our responsibility as writers is to just write. If people can learn from our writing then well […]

    Hi Katharina,
    I agree with you. Poetry is often forgotten. And that classical poetry somehow makes/made poetry seem inaccessible. When you tell people that rap and riddles are poetry, that is when it seems […]
