Call for Poems: Und was bekam…

A transnational poetry competition for the 14 Mei Commemoration

The Theme
Und was bekam…
Bertolt Brecht’s question echoes still.
Write us a poem that continues Brecht’s legacy—or breaks it open.

The Form
Lyric, prose, formal (syllabic, metrical), experimental. Hybrid texts welcome.
32 lines or fewer.

The Future
Up to 36 poets will be published in our anthology and invited to read at the Four Days In May Commemoration:
– Berlin, 11 May | 21:00–22:00
– Warsaw, 12 May | 21:00–22:00
– Rotterdam, 14 May | 21:00–22:00

The Cost
Poetry, like memory, demands collective care. A €5 contribution grants access to all events and ensures your entry is considered.

Deadline: 1 May
