About
Severin VoglDominika Hirschler (1972*) is a German born author.
In her essays, poems, and stories she explores how it is possible to be genuine and transparent in life, honest and precise in writing. Always with her: her camera. The photos, visual notes from her everyday life, are the starting point for deeper reflections. In her essays, she is associative and thoughtful, but also political and ironic. In her poetry, she moves from the unknown to another form of consciousness.
She studied baroque singing, spent a few semesters studying Romance languages, cultural studies and Latin American regional studies, completed an apprenticeship as a bookseller and worked as such. From 2000 to 2025, she toured Europe as a concert singer with renowned ensembles. In Munich, she was at home in church music and could be heard as a soloist.
Since 2021, she has published interviews and essays in VAN, an online classical music magazine. She posts additional texts on her substack.
To all the authors on whose shoulders I stand and on whose ground I am allowed to walk: Thank you! It is impossible to name even the most important ones. New ones are constantly coming along. To all my readers! Thank you for reading. For resonating, being moved, irritated, inspired.
