What makes this workshop particularly literary
Here, language art, writing practice, and critical thinking meet in a rare density. The Ulm Lyriksommer does not understand poetry as decoration but as a form of cultural insight. This is precisely the appeal of this event: Those who write or read poems learn how rhythm, image, condensation, and voice create a literary experience that extends beyond the moment.

Björn Hayer as a Connoisseur of Voices and Forms of the Present
Björn Hayer works as a literary scholar, literature, and theater critic and publishes on contemporary literature, the history of poetry, and related cultural theoretical fields. The Büchner Verlag describes him as the author and editor of several books; his precise, analytical perspective is appreciated in the specialized criticism. For a poetry workshop, this is an asset: Here, poetic practice meets expertise, not mere self-presentation.

Location with Urban Calm and Concentrated Reading Atmosphere
The Einsteinhaus at Kornhausplatz 5 represents a central location in the Ulm city structure and provides a setting that has proven itself for education, culture, and discursive formats. For visitors, the short journey, inner-city connections, and proximity to parking garages such as Kornhaus and Frauenstraße are important. The venue thus offers the perfect backdrop for a compact, intensive literature format. ([kultur-in-ulm.de](https://www.kultur-in-ulm.de/events/?utm_source=openai))
Cost, Registration, and Practical Tips
Participation in the workshop is free of charge; however, registration is mandatory because spots in a workshop format are naturally limited. Those who want to reflect on lyrical work not just as consumers but in dialogue with an experienced author will find an ideal opportunity here.

Conclusion
This poetry workshop promises no loud staging, but precision, concentration, and poetic openness. Visitors can expect a literary experience between reading, conversation, and writing stimulation. Anyone who wants to experience contemporary poetry in all its linguistic tension should not miss this date live at Einsteinhaus.
