Kein Mensch ist eine Insel: Gemeinsam arbeiten

Collectives are sprouting up all around us. And we, too, long for complicity, want to form gangs. The collective can be a safe space for exchange, criticism and practice. A step between the drawer and a larger audience. A place where common ideas can be formed and captured in an open and multi-perspective way.   

Where does this desire for collective structures come from? And what influence do they have on the creative workflow? How does a text change in a shared space? Does anything here still belong to me? How does a poetry collective relate to the literary establishment, and does the lyric form hold a particular collective potential?
