The Stasi Poetry Circle
Only 2 items left in stock
Description
In 1982, concerned that literature was becoming a vehicle for dissent, East Germany’s secret police set up their own writers’ group. Using Stasi files and interviews with surviving members, Philip Oltermann reveals how Uwe Berger, a published poet, taught a collection of soldiers, border guards and spies about rhyme, metre and form to produce a slim anthology of uplifting verse to counteract the perceived negativity of much contemporary writing.
