When I was asked to give a poetics lecture on November 21, 2023, in Halle, Germany, at the Martin-Luther-University, I knew immediately what I would be talking about. You can read my lecture here – in German.

Behind this link you’ll find all the Poetry & Poetics lectures held in recent years at the Faculty of Philosophy III Educational Sciences at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg on the subject of children’s and young adult literature. This includes lectures (in German-language!) by Paul Maar, Antje Tuckermann, Hans Joachim Gelberg, Michael Gutzschhahn and Antje Damm, among others. Take a look!
