A Morning for People Who Want Words to Resonate
Thomas Bartsch combines romantic-songlike elements with clear, pointed language. His texts revolve around connectedness to nature, resonance, solitude, and social observations. Between the poems, he incorporates sound instruments and thereby creates a quiet, concentrated event experience with a special audience atmosphere.

Bartsch is a medical psychotherapist, poet, and essayist. He was born in 1957 in Celle, has published several volumes of poetry with Geest-Verlag, and has also ventured into essayistic terrain with the essay Sisyphus or The Art of the Turn. This creates a reading experience for visitors that is tangible with noticeable experience, professional maturity, and literary authority.
