help the berlin poetry festival to realize this amazing project:
http://wemakeit.ch/projects/wozu-poesie?locale=en

“what’s the point of poetry?”

do you ask yourself the same question? for that reason, we’ve collected 47 photos with answers from poets throughout europe in order to read, see, and understand its value. we want to present them in berlin in the exhibition: “what’s the point of poetry? / a european polyphony. on display.“

and here’s what happens…

47 poets from 47 european countries share their thoughts on the question “what’s the point of poetry?” in 47 photos. they’ve created slogans that comment on the state of culture and society in their countries while also keeping poetry in focus. this june at the berlin poetry festival (poesiefestival berlin), their very diverse poetic messages and points of view will be assembled in an exhibition. the photos are demonstrations and acts of solidarity at the same time. there has never been such an exhibition before. it offers the unique opportunity of bringing the variety of european voices and moods together in one place.

»life doesn’t frighten me« by maya angelou

shadows on the wall
noises down the hall
life doesn’t frighten me at all

bad dogs barking loud
big ghosts in a cloud
life doesn’t frighten me at all

mean old mother goose
lions on the loose
they don’t frighten me at all

dragons breathing flame
on my counterpane
that doesn’t frighten me at all.

i go boo
make them shoo
i make fun
way they run
i won’t cry
so they fly
i just smile
they go wild

life doesn’t frighten me at all.

tough guys fight
all alone at night
life doesn’t frighten me at all.

panthers in the park
strangers in the dark
no, they don’t frighten me at all.

that new classroom where
boys all pull my hair
(kissy little girls
with their hair in curls)
they don’t frighten me at all.

don’t show me frogs and snakes
and listen for my scream,
if i’m afraid at all
it’s only in my dreams.

i’ve got a magic charm
that i keep up my sleeve
i can walk the ocean floor
and never have to breathe.

life doesn’t frighten me at all
not at all
not at all.

life doesn’t frighten me at all.
