Wiederworte

Surprising concept: Ulla Hahn responds to her own earlier poems. With her first poetry collection "Herz über Kopf" (1981), Ulla Hahn gained an enthusiastic readership. Now, thirty years of life experience later, the award-winning author has engaged in a dialogue with her younger poetic self. In "Wiederworte," she presents new poems alongside her early works, giving them new words, as well as counterarguments. These responses are casual, lustful, and full of life. However, Ulla Hahn does not shy away from a very direct, sometimes painful language. Love and transience, history and present - the big themes remain, but the poet's perspective has changed, becoming more serious yet playful at the same time. After years of waiting, new poems from Ulla Hahn are finally here - poetic truths in which we confront all alienations.
