Anger as a Literary Force: Rage Writing in Munich

Anger is one of the most intense human emotions – and one of the most common that leaves us speechless. In the writing workshop Rage Writing. Guide to Writing with Anger, Sophia Merwald explores how physical restlessness, inner tension, and social injustice can be transformed into literary language. The event takes place as part of the Queer Literature Festival Munich 2026 at the glitch Bookstore.

When Emotions Seek Their Own Language

The central question of the event is what anger triggers in the body and mind. Participants investigate which language this feeling speaks and how the unsaid, the repressed, or the long-suppressed can be articulated precisely. The workshop connects personal perception with literary reflection.

Writing Between Body, Conflict, and Memory

Rage Writing does not understand anger as a destructive impulse, but as creative energy. The workshop invites participants to see their own anger as a starting point for stories and to uncover its narrative structure. What experiences lie behind a feeling? What images, rhythms, and text forms shape it? These questions create new access to style, voice, and literary quality.
