Gabriele Eckart
Gabriele Eckart (born March 23, 1954 in Falkenstein / Vogtland ) is a German writer.
Life
Gabriele Eckart studied philosophy at the Humboldt University in Berlin from 1972 to 1976 . She completed her studies with the state examination. In 1979 she took part in a writing course at the Johannes R. Becher Literature Institute in Leipzig . After two volumes of poetry and a volume with travel reports, her next publication was to be a collection of interviews she had conducted with people in Havelland . Excerpts appeared in GDR literary magazines in 1983 and 1984 , but the state prevented the publication of the entire text, which contained numerous critical passages on the situation in the GDR. The book So see the matter was therefore only published in a West German edition in 1984.
In 1987 Eckart used a visit to the Frankfurt Book Fair to move to the Federal Republic of Germany ; she kept her GDR citizenship . In 1988 she emigrated to the USA , where she continued her studies. In 1993 she received the degree of Magister (MA) at the University of Texas at San Antonio , and in 1993 received his doctorate them at the University of Minnesota as a doctor of philosophy. Since 1999 she has been teaching German and Spanish at the Southeast Missouri State University in Cape Girardeau .
