An evening where poetry resonates in Landshut
The 9th Landshut Night of Poetry will gather on June 12, 2026, at the vhs Landshut a selection of East Bavarian poets for a reading that makes language experienceable as a sound space, a space for thought, and a place for encounter. Rhymed and free forms, cheerful and contemplative tones, love poetry, landscape imagery, and political poetry intertwine to create a literary experience with a special atmosphere.
When poems open the space
Barbara Krohn, Janus Montgelas, and Ingrid Kellner will bring their own texts to the stage and provide insight into different poetic styles. The announced combination of music and poetry by Sylvia Strasser alias Sylvenklang adds additional depth and a sensual reading atmosphere where language is not only read but also heard, felt, and experienced in resonance.
Between rhyme, rhythm, and the present
The program spans a wide arc from form-conscious poetry to freer poetic approaches. This variety is what makes it so appealing: The reading navigates through different genres within poetry, from intimate observations to socially aware texts. Thus, an evening emerges that combines literary quality with cultural education and makes the diversity of contemporary poetry visible.
A place for encounter and focused listening
The Volkshochschule Landshut provides the appropriate setting for this. The lecture hall at Ländgasse 41 is a close yet focused space for exchange, where encounters between authors and the audience do not stand distantly next to each other, but find immediate connection. The limited seating capacity enhances the character of this event as an exclusive literary occasion.
Conclusion
Anyone who wants to experience the power of language in its full breadth will find here an evening full of fine tones, cultural substance, and poetic presence. The 9th Landshut Night of Poetry invites you to discover contemporary poetry live and experience the special energy of a reading on site.
