Subtle poetry about the element of water
Born in Bozen in 1996, author Greta Maria Pichler studied philosophy and language arts in Vienna. She received the renowned jury prize of the 30th Open Mike competition in Berlin in 2022 for initial excerpts from her debut work ‘Salzwasser’. Her complete volume was published in 2024.
In her subtle prose poems, Pichler weaves environmentally critical thinking with the search for orientation, distance, and proximity. She uses seawater as a habitat, a transport route, and a metaphor for tears and sweat, thereby touching upon central questions of modern human existence.
