LEAH WEIGAND | »Das Gold in den Fugen« | HAMBURG

In the organizer's words:

Poetry to hope for | The poems of SPIEGEL bestselling author Leah Weigand give hope in difficult times

You can't have hope.

And yet, some days,

I can grab it and lift it,

perhaps carry it a little further.

In view of the current world situation, one could despair: climate change, a shattered political landscape, people drifting apart, hardened fronts and speechlessness everywhere you look.

But there is also hope. Because they exist, the situations and people that make life worth living. The little moments that give us confidence despite everything and the people who stand up for the good.

In her new program, Leah Weigand eloquently and poetically conveys the feeling of struggling with one's own optimism in the face of a shaky world. She shows that gold sometimes hides in the cracks. And yet it is always there for us to discover.

Also present: singer-songwriter Tobias Fleck, who complements and underlines the poetry with his music in a wonderful way.

Das Gold in den Fugen is the new book by the popular poetry slammer and SPIEGEL bestselling author of Ein wenig mehr Wir (over 6 million views of her poem Ungepflegt on social media).

Everything is less difficult for the moment

And I can dwell on that for a moment

Lightness probably doesn't write a book

But she writes a few lines.
