renshi.eu – A European Dialogue in Verse

From January to April 2012, poets from all 27 countries of the European Union and the accession country Croatia wrote a chain poem or, as we call it, Renshi to Europe, for the Berlin Poetry Festival. In this format, the last line of each poem became the first of the next, thus connecting each poet to his/her predecessor. There were five groups with six to seven poets in each, creating five side-by-side chain poems by authors with 23 different native languages. All of the poems were translated into English and German.

The 28 authors involved in the renshi.eu experiment did not focus solely on the politics of the European crisis or the everyday problems of the people, but also the bigger picture, poetically examining the figures and myths of the European idea.  

Greece, as both the focus of the economic crisis and the birthplace of European culture and democracy, was the jumping off point for this Renshi. The Greek poet Yannis Stiggas’s poem was used as the starting point and basis for all five groups.  At the end, he also wrote a final verse that reflected on the extant traces of his own lines in the writing of the other authors.  

The premier of renshi.eu took place on June 2nd, 2012 at the Akademie der
Künste (Academy of Arts) in Berlin.


renshi.eu is a production of the Berlin Poetry Festival 2012, under the patronage of the European Parliament, sponsored by the German Foreign Office, in cooperation with Literature Across Frontiers and the Education and Culture Directorate General of the European Commission, EUNIC Berlin and lyrikline.org.

renshi.eu – ein europäischer Dialog in Versen

Für das poesiefestival berlin schrieben von Januar bis April 2012 junge Dichter aus allen 27 Ländern der Europäischen Union sowie dem Beitrittsland Kroatien ein Kettengedicht, ein sogenanntes Renshi zu Europa. Dabei knüpfte jeder Dichter an den Text seines Vorgängers an, indem er dessen letzte Zeile zu seiner ersten machte. Gearbeitet wurde in 5 Gruppen mit je 6-7 Dichtern. Es entstanden 5 nebeneinander stehende Kettengedichte von Autoren aus 23 verschiedenen Muttersprachen. Alle Gedichte wurden ins Englische und Deutsche übersetzt.

Die europäische Krisenpolitik, die alltäglichen Probleme der Menschen, aber auch die großen Entwürfe, unterfüttert mit Figuren und Mythen dieser europäischen Idee, nahmen die 28 Autoren bei diesem Experiment „renshi.eu“ auf poetische Weise in den Blick.

Griechenland als Brennpunkt der wirtschaftlichen Krise, zugleich aber dem Geburtsort europäischer Kultur und Demokratie war Ausgangspunkt des Renshi. Das Startgedicht des Griechen Yannis Stiggas wurde für alle fünf Gruppen zur Grundlage. Abschließend schrieb er eine letzte Strophe und reflektiert die Spuren, die seine Zeilen im Schreiben der anderen Autoren hinterlassen haben. 

Die Premiere von „renshi.eu“ fand am 2. Juni 2012 in der Akademie der Künste in Berlin statt.

Yannis Stiggas (born 1977 in Athens, Greece) has published three collections of verse and his poems have also appeared in many magazines and anthologies. In 2007 he performed in the intothepill project in the Karaoke Poetry Bar in Athens. His poems impress with the power of their imagery and language. By opposing the internal and the external view, and abstract and sensual observations, his texts hover on the margins of perception.

Josep Pedrals (born 1979 in Barcelona, Catalonia/Spain) is a poet and musician. Before he started performing his poems on stage in 1997, he had been working as a bookseller. A sound poet, he had his first commission on the radio as a filler, providing charming nonsense rhymes to order. Josep Pedrals writes humorous verse which constantly shifts between quiet, sensuous and expressive passages. His performances are somewhere between Dada and jam sessions. In 2009 he was the winner of the Osaka Poetry Slam, organised by the Osake Goethe Institute. Until 2004 he played keyboards for the band Explosion Bikini. At the moment he is the leader of the ironic pop group Els Nens Eutròfics, in which he is the vocalist and songwriter and plays clarinet. He also writes stage plays and gives poetry curses for adults and children.

Christoph Szalay (born 1987 in Graz, Austria) first attracted attention as a professional sportsman in the Nordic combined event in Austria. In 2007 he swapped his career as a skiier for a degree in German Studies in Graz. The 25-year-old lives and writes there and in his house in the Ennstal. He attracted public attention with his first book of poems, stadt / land / fluss, which was published by Leykam in 2009, and in which Christoph Szalay manages the balancing act between reflective urban and nature poetry on the one hand and playfully ironic procedures on the other. It brought his the literary promotion prize of the City of Graz and, in 2011, a START fellowship from the Austrian Culture Ministry.
