Jana Krüger was born in Aachen and grew up in East Frisia. She studied cultural studies in Potsdam and general and comparative literature at the Freie Universität Berlin. During her literary writing studies at the Deutsche Literaturinstitut in Leipzig, she led two projects for young refugees in youth welfare organizations. She is the winner of the Wortmeldung Förderpreis 2019 and was a participant in the Klagenfurt Literaturkurs 2022. Her texts have appeared in literary magazines such as Metamorphosen and Edit. She is currently working on her debut novel and a manuscript of poetry.
During my stay in Libken, I worked on my poetry manuscript. I understand the poems as forms of night creatures. The individual poems move on a fantastic and philosophical terrain that asks about encounters and rebellion, sometimes getting lost and reinventing itself in other moments.
