Verena Grundhammer

 I am a writer whose work unfolds primarily in German, spanning Lyrik, short prose, novelistic fragments, and dream-based texts, with occasional writings in Spanish and English. My practice moves fluidly between forms, resisting fixed genres in favor of a fragmentary, associative mode of narration.

​

My poetry is marked by a reduced, image-driven language, where perception dissolves into rhythm and subtle semantic shifts. In contrast, my prose often follows an oneiric logic in which imagination slips under the skin and quietly reshapes what I perceive as real.

 

Across my work, I explore themes of memory, origin, and transformation, often situating my texts within threshold spaces—between dream and reality, presence and absence—where meaning remains deliberately open and in flux.
