Poetry & Jazz at KiS

Reading with saxophone accompaniment

Every poem, even the shortest, can turn into a blossoming poem, it could probably even explode, for immeasurable stores of splendour and cruelty are hidden everywhere, waiting patiently for our gaze ...

This is how „Erblühendes Poem“ begins – a poem by Adam Zagajewski that Alexandra Maria Jablonka (right) recited in February 2024 at a special evening for KiS members. Juliana Haider accompanied the poems by Rainer Maria Rilke, Hans Magnus Enzensberger, Louise Glück, Emily Dickinson and others on the saxophone – in some cases with her own compositions.
