“Her performances combine the spoken word, underlying rhythms and musical accompaniment that infuse into her shows a sensual quality that stays with you.”
Jorge Cruz, ÜRBANTgarde, “poetry that glitters”, article about me due to my gig in Green Point, Brooklyn, New York, USA, 01/13/2017
“Franziska Ruprecht developed as a performance poet in Detroit, where she won several poetry slams while studying at Wayne State University. She’s also been a frequent performer at the Munich Poetry Slam.
She says that she’s influenced by “the play between languages (German and English, sometimes French, too); the experimental approach of the Language School poets, especially Carla Harryman; sophisticated hip-hop music; everything that’s pop; the emotional mission of poetry; and the wonders of life.””Ken Nash, article about gig in Prague, 2005
