Ulm Lyrical Summer: Walle Sayer Invites to the Poetry Workshop Thought Fragments

Thought Fragments: Where Perception Becomes Poetry

The Ulm Lyrical Summer invites you to an inspiring poetry workshop with writer Walle Sayer at the EinsteinHaus on October 23, 2026. Under the title "Thought Fragments," the focus is on poetic perception: Observations, memories, thoughts, and feelings serve as the starting point for one's own lyrical texts.

Poetics Between Content and Form

In this workshop, the poem appears as a particularly precise form of seeing. The focus lies on the questions of what and how to write, regarding content, form, rhythm, and linguistic concentration. Theoretical impulses connect with practical writing exercises and open a concentrated approach to the art of language.

Workshop Discussion and Personal Texts

The reading atmosphere gives way to a lively writing workshop, where literary experience and collective reflection come together. Walle Sayer guides participants through workshop discussions and provides suggestions for the development of their own poetic voice. The exchange about submitted poems is also part of the concept and sharpens the eye for narrative decisions, linguistic precision, and literary quality.

Walle Sayer as Workshop Leader

Walle Sayer is among the prominent voices of contemporary German-language poetry. His poetic work focuses on seemingly incidental life details and transforms them into linguistically concentrated observations. In the workshop, this attitude becomes practically experiencable: The everyday takes on new contours when language listens closely.

A Literary Experience at the Ulm EinsteinHaus

In the studio of the EinsteinHaus, an intimate space for concentration, exchange, and creative movement is created. The Ulm Lyrical Summer understands literature as a space of possibilities and as an invitation to think beyond the borders of the familiar. "Thought Fragments" is aimed at friends of poetry, writers, and anyone who wishes to deepen their perception through language.

Conclusion: Explore Poetry Yourself

Participants can look forward to a free, expertly guided poetry workshop with theoretical impulses, practical writing exercises, and personal exchange. Those who want to experience how a thought, a memory, or a small detail transforms into a poem will find an inspiring place for their own poetic voice at "Thought Fragments."
