Mein Amrum

For many years, Annette Pehnt has been drawn back to Amrum. In her poetic story about Amrum, she explores how her love for this small, unique, and somewhat otherworldly North Sea island came to be. She walks with her dog over the knee sand and through the dunes, reminiscing about past journeys, visiting the local museum in Nebel, and sharing her keen observations of the landscapes and people of Amrum. Above all, Annette Pehnt simply wants to write about the island, for "those who came to Amrum wanted to tell stories... stories of purple blueberry lips and cream clouds in black tea." Thoughtful and very personal, Annette Pehnt unfolds the distinctive poetics of her island—writing about the magic of beginnings and departures, about changes, about arriving, getting lost, and finding oneself.
