Life

Boris Kerenski studied at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart with Dieter Groß, Hans Dieter Huber and Joan Jonas .

Professionally he was u. a. worked as an editor for various print and online media and as a lecturer at the Literaturhaus Stuttgart, where he was also in charge of the magazine Literaturmachen .

In his work as an editor, Kerenski deals in particular with German-language underground, slam and pop literature. His anthology Kaltland-Beat , published in 1999 together with Sergiu Stefanescu, attracted greater attention.It brings together the prose and poetry of the literary underground and supplemented it with essays and journalistic articles (by Björn Kuhligk , Markus Orths , Tanja Dückers , Enno Stahl , Marc Degens , Jaromir Konecny, among others and Benno Käsmayr ). Martin Büsser described the book as “the best German-language anthology on the subject, one that replaces all the others”. A revised new edition is planned for 2020 by Verbrecher Verlag .

The Tanger Telegram published in 2004 together with Florian Vetsch , a collection of texts and images about the Moroccan city of Tangier , also met with consistently positive feedback. Manfred Papst called the book “a wonderful anthology, so richly colorful, intoxicating and confusing as its topic”. The Neue Zürcher Zeitung ruled: "The extremely carefully designed work becomes a sensual reading pleasure, not least thanks to the numerous collages, old photographs, sketches, calligraphies".

Boris Kerensky currently lives in Gingen an der Fils and works as a high school teacher.
