Sehnsucht im Hyperbett

What is almost exclusively transformed here is sex. It’s not about something small. It’s about Paul and Paula, it’s about the father in the daughter, it’s about abuse and love, it’s about singing and ecstasy instead of speaking and discursiveness. It’s about mystical recognition, which sometimes looks like pornography. It’s about prose in free verse, rhymes, and raps. It’s about the point from which it opens up. It is the stage of the father who speaks out. Birgit Kempker demands a lot from the reader, especially the same openness, the ability to hear voices, the quick agility between language construction and life construction, which her texts also exhibit. And along with that, the certainty that sexuality is the focal point.
