Handreichung with Clara Cosima Wolff

Thursday, 17. September 2026, 7 PM

► An event as part of the 2026 program at the Wendy vs Tinkerbell bar, meeting space, and workshop

The debut poetry collection "handreichung" (handout) by Dortmund's current city chronicler will be released soon. It explores dementia, women's learning of fear, and care work—each within the tension between remembering and forgetting. With visual playfulness, Wolff examines the relationship between literature and art, writing and image. In a reading and discussion, she will offer insights into her working methods. "handreichung" takes its name literally: a gentle invitation or offer to participate in collective reading, to experience contemporary poetry in a public context.

Clara Cosima Wolff (born 1993 in Hagen) writes poetry, essays, and reviews, translates poems with the kolleginnen.kollektiv (collective of female poets), and performs with the collective lyrika. In 2026, she is Dortmund's city chronicler and a resident at Künstlerhaus Edenkoben (Edenkoben Artists' House). 2026 Co-founding of letzter verlag (letzter-verlag.de).

Wendy vs Tinkerbell is a project within the Kreativ.Quartiere Ruhr program, funded by the Ministry of Culture and Science of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia and implemented by the Regionalverband Ruhr.
