“At her considerable best she takes us deep into the sleep of reason” – William Scammell.
Lotte Kramer is partly a Holocaust poet – she came to Britain as a teenager in the Kindertransport of 1939 – and partly a poet of her adopted Fenland. The interplay of these two environments, of memory and observation, gives her poetry its peculiar power. She has published seven collections in Britain (three of them with Rockingham) and is now also published in her native Rhineland.
