Monika Rinck’s poems are characterized by her humor and her effortlessness in bringing together philosophical, religious and everyday themes in linguistically rich work. She demonstrates that fixed concepts and handed-down knowledge are more fluid than we like to think. A meditation on a hortensia, in an early poem, thus moves from parties to space stations and ends in the loneliness of space. For her reading at HERE! HERE! THERE!, Rinck will present work and discuss her poetics.Monika Rinck’s
