Biography of Ulrike Gerbig
|
 |
My name is Ulrike Gerbig and I live in Germany as a woman, mum, daughter, teacher, mediator, friend, lover and poet.
Being a person who likes to get close to people and their feelings and thoughts, my life is kind of helter-skelter sometimes. For some time now writing poetry has been my means of downloading encounters and experiences and the emotions caused by them.
By writing 'pain' down, I do not only overcome it, but I transcend it. By writing 'love' down, 'love' finally shows itself as something much bigger than just the mere feeling to a person on a certain moment. It shows sides neither I nor anybody else sees in the moment when love is happening in real time...maybe in my poems it shows some of its true nature.
Poetry transcends what actually happens in my 'real' life: when the words are finally on the page, it is more than what actually happened. In a poem there might be less words than I would need if I told the encounter to a friend, but what is on the page is more dense and more intense than anything I could say in prose and sometimes it amazes me that something like that comes out of me.
My poems are larger than me. They have their own 'life' and by that they are the closest that I can get to a glimpse of the divine process of creation, which, in writing manifests itself through me for a very short moment in time and makes me a humble servant to creativity.
My first collection of poetry:
'Every Woman's Blues', Lapwing Press, Belfast,2004.
My second collection, 'Love in all the right places' came out in May,2005 (Lapwing Press, Belfast) .
Both can be ordered on Amazon.co.uk or directly from my publisher Dennis Greig (catherine.greig1@ntlworld.com)
My fist self-published collection 'The looking Glass Poems' can either be found on Lulu.com or on Amazon.com. (see 'further information' under my name on this website!)
My poems can be read on several websites, in ezines, poetry magazines and in anthologies such as
'Dead Drunk Dublin', 'Dublin Quarterly', 'Pedastal Magazine', 'Electric Acorn', 'Aestethica', 'Mousseion', 'Voices', 'Poetry Superhighway', 'Photoaspects', 'Unlikely Stories', 'Poetry Kit'
and the anthology 'Voices of Israel,2005'.
I was poet of the week this year on 'Poetry Superhighway' and 'Magma', 'LitVision' and 'The North' are considering some of my poems for future publication.
