ANNETTE WEISSER TO BRUCE HAINLEY Berlin, September 22, 2026
In his previous letter to Annette Weisser, Bruce Hainley offered insights into the work of Wim T. Schippers, whose puckish pieces are perfect for lifting spirits. Now, Weisser brings Hainley – and us, as readers of their correspondence – back to today’s less-than-rosy political reality. Alarmed by the AfD’s election results in Saxony-Anhalt, she wonders how to cultivate moral courage, solidarity, and a sense of community in times when right-wing forces are gaining influence at a disturbing rate. She currently finds stronger impulses for this in poetry than in contemporary art – and specifically recommends a poem by Ariana Reines.
