Achim Amme, who studied theater studies, philosophy and German studies and is known for his work as a freelance author (including for the SZ) and as an actor in television productions such as Tatort, Bella Block and Großstadtrevier, presents unpublished material from four decades of the last century in his book “Der Amme. Poet". What has endured, what can be dusted off, what can be safely thrown in the garbage can?

When opening an old computer, it was possible to determine to the day exactly when the poems were written. So why not assign a diary entry to each poem and place four decades of poetry production in a personal and historical context?

This “... turns reading into a journey through time, you can feel the respective operating temperature of the Federal Republic in the last decades of the 20th century: Political. Funny. Good." writes Petra Haase in the newspaper Lübecker Nachrichten. Between the texts, the author also includes his own songs and chansons.
