A summer evening for fine language: Poetry, prose, and conversation in the Aegis Garden

The Ulm Lyrical Summer brings together on July 29, 2026, three distinctive voices of contemporary poetry and literature in a place known for its reading atmosphere, literary experience, and concentrated proximity: the Aegis Garden at Café Aegis in Ulm.

Three authors, three styles, one common resonance space

Moritz Grevel, Dilara Streil, and Marco Kerler will read from their own texts, thereby opening a panorama of regional linguistic art that resonates between poetic condensation, narrative self-examination, and cultural memory. Dilara Streil will present her debut novel We are just extras, Marco Kerler will read from the poetry collection Amber Love, and Moritz Grevel will showcase his award-winning texts. The evening will be moderated by Christine Langer, whose experience as a writer and journalist gives the discussion a precise literary depth.

Poetry as contemporary art

The evening is not a mere sequence of texts but a meeting of authors with character. Here, it becomes evident how openly today's literature works across genre boundaries: novel, poetry collection, short form, reading, and conversation interlock. The Ulm Lyrical Summer thus emphasizes both literary quality and cultural relevance. The motto of the series, Perspective — Beyond the Borders, resonates clearly in this event: language becomes a space for thought, a touchstone for identity, origin, memory, and future.

A place with literary character

Café Aegis is more than just an event space. The venue represents an urban, accessible cultural climate where literature does not feel distant but becomes physically tangible. The Aegis Garden creates a special openness in summer: voices, evening air, and text emerge in close proximity. Those seeking a reading atmosphere will find a format here that relies on attention, exchange, and the fine tension between authors and audience.

An evening for readers eager for new voices

Visitors will experience an evening that combines poetic presence with regional literary anchoring. The reading is aimed at people who not only read contemporary literature but also want to hear it in immediate presentation. The power of such formats lies precisely in this: language gains voice, rhythm, and presence.

Conclusion: The Ulm Lyrical Summer 2026 promises a summer evening full of linguistic art, conversation, and literary discoveries in the Aegis Garden. Those who wish to experience new poetry and strong regional voices live should firmly schedule this date.
