The intent of the present interview with Utz Rachowski is to explore the poet’s drive to share his innermost thoughts in lyrical form. Specifically, Rachowski speaks about having been accused of being the alleged ring-leader of a renegade philosophy club; of his imprisonment as an enemy of the state for having written poems that were condiered subversive; about the how and why he continued to write poetry and how it has sustained him through five decades; and his experiences abroad.
