Duel of words at Kleist Forum

The "Best of Poetry Slam" is back at Frankfurt's Kleist Forum: On December 18, it will once again be about choosing perhaps the best story of all time. Top poets from German-speaking countries will give an insight into what moves them and their world.

With texts they have written themselves, they will compete against each other to win the favor of the audience, who will decide who takes home the coveted trophy of the evening. David Weber, Monika Mertens, Aileen Schneider, Yannik Sellmann and Noah Klaus, who regularly perform their texts on German-language slam stages, will be taking part. The popular poetry battle will be hosted by Ken Yamamoto.

When and where?
