Navid Kermani and Guy Helminger – The Literary Salon. With poet Tom Schulz as guest.
Tom Schulz is one of the best German-language poets. His poetry, according to Austrian Radio, “casually dismantles the consensus on how to think about the world and what we are to understand by reality”. Schulz has published 12 volumes of poetry since the 1990s, many of which were translated into other languages. They all raise the question of the aspect of change in “belles lettres”, seeking space and time for what is human. In his new collection, Salz und Erinnern [“Salt and Remembering”], Schulz takes us to places from his own and others’ history, from the former Stalin Allee in East Berlin to Budapest and the Danube. Cross-fades and after-images. Berlin in ruins after the war. Serbia, thirty years after the horrors of conflict. Remembering means becoming aware; it requires taking a stance towards the world and to things.
Navid Kermani and Guy Helminger welcome the poet as part of their event series, The Literary Salon.
