Rolf Dieter Brinkmann: „Ich gehe in ein anderes Blau“ – eine Biografie

In the organizer's words:

The poet Rolf Dieter Brinkmann was already controversial during his lifetime, and the debates continued after his early death in 1975. For a long time, his estate was not accessible. Now Michael Töteberg and Alexandra Vasa have been able to view it for the first time. Based on new and primary information, they have written a comprehensive biography of the poet - from Brinkmann's early years in lower middle-class Vechta to the 1968s in Cologne and his early death in a traffic accident. The Heinrich Heine Institute also has a valuable collection of almost all publications by and about Brinkmann, which was consulted for the book.

Töteberg and Vasa talk to Düsseldorf professor and Brinkmann expert Sibylle Schönborn and Dr. Enno Stahl (Heine Institute) about the poet and her book.
