Regina Jarisch und Anke Engelmann: Glückssucher und Märchenfäden

In the organizer's words:

Poetry and prose from Weimar: Regina Jarisch and Anke Engelmann read from their latest works.
Regina Jarisch presents her poetry collection "tatsächlich tanzen" with photographs by Gudrun Wiesmann. The poems interweave experiences from childhood and youth, later family and social experiences, tongue-in-cheek descriptions of "age-related ailments" and the occasional fairytale thread.
Anke Engelmann reads familiar and previously unpublished stories. Her new novel, which will be published soon, tells of the life and death of counterfeiter Hannes Bohn and his journey between prison and art. The author observes closely and tells the story without false pity, but with an eye for the absurd in everyday life. The GDR is always present in her stories and its consequences can still be felt today.

Regina Jarisch has published in anthologies, magazines and several volumes of poetry: "Der weite Himmel" (2008) with pictures by Sabine Naumann (Künstlerbuch); "lauter leben" (2015) with pictures by Rosalinde Rasche (ATHENA Verlag); "herzflug" (2020) with graphics by Jost Heyder (Leipziger Literaturverlag).

Anke Engelmann runs the Büro für angewandte Poesie. In addition to her work as an author, editor and lecturer in literacy, she teaches creative writing, including at Kultur: Haus Dacheröden. In 2021, Edition Schwarzdruck published her short story collection "Eiapopeia im Prenzelberg". In 2024 she published the anthology "Eva träumt nicht mehr". More at www.poesiebuero.de.
