Two seas, islands and halligs, screaming seagulls, marshes and sand, birch and coniferous forests, rivers and lakes: This is the North German Lowlands, a region that has captivated not only poets for centuries. The anthology presents a vivid, sometimes muted portrayal of its beauties in six chapters, featuring texts from Klopstock to Fontane, Storm, Morgenstern, Tucholsky, and Borchert, as well as from Mascha Kaléko and Sarah Kirsch to Karin Kiwus - poetic declarations of love for a truly unique landscape.
