Life and works

Thomas Wensing, born 1978 in Cologne (North Rhine-Westphalia) has studied at the University of Cologne and at the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt.[2] He obtained his PhD from the latter institution in 2011.[3]

Besides studies and occupation, Wensing developed skills in writing literary texts.[4] Since the late 1990s, he has been publishing poetry in a couple of anthologies, e.g. in Junge Lyrik,[5] Junge Lyrik II and Junge Lyrik III, a book series published by Martin Werhand Verlag.[6] In 2006, he participated in the visual-poetric project Poesie bewegt of the Bremer Straßenbahn AG under supervision of Joachim Tuz.[7] Together with the two musicians Martin Schmitz and Michael Wurzel, Wensing formed the trio eher selten[8] that performed poetry and music at various occasions in the mid-2000s.[9] Apart from that group, he tried out his texts in several other formats, e.g. in cooperation with the Stadttheater Ingolstadt.[10]

In August 2014 Martin Werhand Verlag published Wensings first own volume of poems (Mitschrift), within the series 100 Gedichte.[11][12] A volume of short stories (Zwischenspiel) appeared in late 2015 in the same publishing house.[13] In December 2019 the MWV published a third book with poems (Herbsttag), within the series 50 Gedichte.[14]
