About “Ankerplätze”
What holds a person when the sea knows no boundaries? The contributions to this volume search for an answer exactly there. Between longing for expanse and the need for firm ground, texts emerge that describe places where one can pause.
The authors lead out to sea, into the tidal flats, along the dikes, onto the warfs and to the sluices. Language plays a role here too, for some anchorages lie in a single word. Some texts are enigmatic, others humorous, and almost all invite the reader to look more closely.
Where is one’s own anchorage when the paths in every direction are open? The volume connects the coastal landscape with thoughts on home, hold and belonging, and leaves readers to decide which place matters to them.
Who is “Ankerplätze” for?
For readers who enjoy coastal literature and short prose, and who are drawn to the North Sea both as a landscape and as a space for thought. The volume speaks to people who like to browse anthologies, read texts side by side and stumble upon new voices by chance. Anyone who knows the first volume of the series will find here a continuation with a similar view of the tidal flats and dikes.
When is “Ankerplätze” the best read?
The volume suits the time after a beach walk or a tidal flat hike, when you can link what you read directly to the landscape. At just under 160 pages, it can be read over several evenings, and each text stands on its own. It also makes a good gift for people who love the sea.
In what order should you read the “Nordseetexte” series?
The series lists “Wattwurmgeflüster” as the first volume and “Ankerplätze” as the second. This volume is therefore the second of the titles named. The volumes form a series of anthologies on the North Sea, so the first volume offers the entry point and the second continues the search for anchorages.
