Hello, strangers!

You have just landed on Planet Literature. Feel free to check in at one of our literary check-in desks. The various destinations are listed on the departure board at the top of the page.

You are also warmly invited to travel to our neighbouring planets:

On Ilona Lay’s Poetry Planet, a shooting star from the author’s poetic cosmos appears every week.

On our Book Planet, a window opens regularly onto one of our literary book worlds.

The Song Planet is – as the name suggests – a quite melodic planet. Here you’ll find songs whose lyrics have something to offer even for literary planetarians.

Rother Baron: Conversations with Paula

The Pulse of God

„The universe follows the logic of the divine spirit, which at some point withdraws into itself again in order to then spring out of itself once more. This is what we call the pulse of God.“

Song Planet

Peace after the End of the World

On Angelo Branduardi’s song La favola degli aironi (The Fairy Tale of the Herons)
