Pressezitate

Stuttgarter Zeitung
»Otto Jägersberg shows that even poetry, the most subtle and delicate of the three classical genres, can be a stimulant for laughter.«
Frank Lorentz
Welt am Sonntag
»How does Otto Jägersberg write? Well, you can enjoy his lines of poetry and prose in sips, but you may become tipsy quite fast in the process.«
Nils Jensen
Buchkultur, Vienna
»It is a pleasure to follow this wandering rascal.«
Frank Schäfer
taz, Berlin

»[Jägersberg’s] punchlines have something so sublimely casual to them, as though the comedy were springing forth organically from the depicted events, or rather, more frequently, from the language.«

Elke Heidenreich

»We need the poets’ gaze on the world in order to understand and bear it. Jägersberg has this gaze.«

Frank Schäfer
Die Zeit, Hamburg

»Jägersberg’s texts are poetry in themselves, making the well-known seem entirely fresh and new again.«
