To all who speak German.

From August 2019 I had an author's page on fixpoetry.com, a German web portal dedicated to literature and visual arts - not only from Germany; sadly, the web portal is down since 07/2021 due to lack of financial support:

REVIEW
:
"Die Poetin Barbara Frenz trifft - gleich Kassandra - mit einem dreifachen Begriffsschlag, ihrem Lyrikband "Feuer Wahn Zen",  ins EmpfindungsZENtrum empathischer LeserInnen. Ihr bezaubernd knapper Sprachduktus zielt synästhetisch - berührend  illustriert von Thomas Rösch - in den im Selbst mehrfach erschütterten, singularisierten Kern der Gegenwarts-Gesellschaft" (Marga Prankl / Walter Prankl, Kultur-Punkt Onlinejournal, April 2017).
