Dear friends of poetry,

Today I would like to draw your attention to a special event organised by the Dichterpflänzchen.

‘I chose love as my home’ - Mascha Kaleko, a portrait in poems

Masha Kaléko has been compared to Morgenstern, Kästner and Ringelnatz, but that doesn't quite do her justice. She has their playfulness, satirical acuity and linguistic wit, but she also has a yearning and a delicate fragility that can take your breath away.

The Dichterpflänzchen would like to commemorate the life and work of this extraordinary poet on the 50th anniversary of her death. If you do not have time to attend the event yourself, please forward this email to friends or acquaintances. Thank you.
