Timo Brandt
Timo Brandt (* 1992 in Düsseldorf ) is a German poet and reviewer.
Life
Timo Brandt grew up in Hamburg and later studied language art at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna . In addition to his studies, he worked as a reviewer and reporter for several media and magazines and was co-editor of JENNY, the annual anthology of the Institute for Linguistic Art.
In 2017 his first volume of poetry, Enterhilfe fürs Universum, was published . In 2019, the second volume followed from here only writings . In both volumes he dealt primarily with traditional forms and perceptions of the poem and transformed them through contact with contemporary approaches.
reception
Brandt was attested with true passion in his debut volume: “Brandt's notation may appear a bit mannered at times, a whole arsenal of different spaces and indentations, mirror consequences and sudden changes in the text run through the volume. But that's not wrong either. It's about showing yourself. And Timo Brandt does this with fervor and intimacy. "
As with the first volume, the second volume emphasized the diversity of forms: “We are used to recognizing a poet by their style, to identify them by the way they write [...] And if one of the works is good, even outstanding we like to assume that the other texts by the same author must also be, this thinking is dictated by the market. And someone who takes care of their tone is either considered a plagiarist or he reveals himself to be a parodist. Timo Brandt undermines this relationship. ”His poems have to be read several times in order to“ recognize the affinity of the words, the pleasure in playing with them, but also the gaps between them. ”
