Together with Monika Rinck and Sabine Scho she puts on the ‘Rotten Kinck Schow’ at irregular intervals.
Her poetry is characterised by playful language experiments and clarity. “Ann Cotten ties up the traditional canon of forms in a fresh, new way which is also a disruption and tries to read the world and situations in a way that is as lateral to the norm as possible.” (Christian Steinbacher).

"You have to experience him, this language obsessed poet,” wrote Karl-Heinz-Ott in the Neuer Zürcher Zeitung newspaper. “Whoever has seen one of Christian Uetz’s celebrated readings, given from memory, will know what Nietzsche meant by his dictum that one has to understand how to be able to dance with language.”

Peter Waterhouse

Peter Waterhouse (*1956, Germany) studied German and English language and literature and received his doctorate in 1984 with a dissertation on Paul Celan. He is an a writer and translator and lives in Vienna. On awarding Peter Waterhouse the Erich Fried Prize in 2007, the jury member Ilma Rakusa said: “Peter Waterhouse is one of the most idiosyncratic voices in modern German-language literature. Since the early 1980s, in his poetry, prose, theatre plays and poetological essays, he has been dealing with the question of how language and the world relate to one another. His careful approach to objects, landscapes and people gets to the bottom of this paradoxical relationship over and again and creates epiphanies in the most emphatic sense." Peter Waterhouse’s latest work, published in 2006, was the novel "Krieg und Welt".
