A Cemetery Walk & Poetic Reflections

# THE POETRY OF DEAD THINGS

# A Cemetery Walk & Gothic Poetry Gathering

Some stories are written in ink. Others are carved in stone.
Among weathered angels, forgotten names and the quiet splendour of nineteenth-century graves, we shall wander through Berlin's historic Alter Luisenstädtischer Friedhof, where time seems to stand still and even silence has a story to tell.

As we explore its melancholic beauty, we shall collect fragments of inspiration: an epitaph, a mysterious symbol, a forgotten name, or perhaps a thought that refuses to leave us.

From there, our journey continues to Café Friedberg, a former funerary building nestled among historic graves. Surrounded by the comforting aroma of coffee and a tempting selection of delicious cakes, we shall transform our observations into poetry, allowing imagination to give new life to what time has left behind.

No literary experience is required. Only curiosity, a notebook, your favourite pen, and an appreciation for the beautifully macabre. Those who wish may share their verses over coffee and conversation.
We shall gather from 10:30 AM to 13:30 PM, for an afternoon devoted to forgotten stories, beautiful words and the pleasure of discovering kindred spirits.

The exact meeting point will be communicated privately once you have confirmed your attendance and we have exchanged a personal message, ensuring that we can recognise one another and that nobody is left waiting.

Places are limited to preserve the intimate character of our gathering. Please reserve your place and send a private message to confirm your attendance.

Come for the cemetery. Stay for the poetry. Leave with something that did not exist before.

The dead have left their words in stone. We shall leave ours on paper.
A suggested donation of €5 per participant is warmly appreciated to support the organisation of our society's gatherings. Coffee, tea and the café's delightful selection of cakes are available for individual purchase and are not included in the donation.
