Poetry & Jazz at KiS
Reading with saxophone accompaniment
Every poem, even the shortest, can blossom into a full-blown poem; indeed, it might even burst into life, for everywhere there lie hidden, immeasurable reserves of splendour and cruelty, waiting patiently for us to discover them …
Thus begins „Erblühendes Poem“, a poem by Adam Zagajewski, which Alexandra Maria Jablonka (right) recited in February 2024 at a special evening for KiS members. Juliana Haider accompanied the texts by Rainer Maria Rilke, Hans Magnus Enzensberger, Louise Glück, Emily Dickinson and others on the saxophone – in some cases with her own compositions.
