lyrikline.org hosts contemporary international poetry as audio (read by the authors) and text (original versions and translations), plus bibliographies and biographies for each poet.
In November 2001, several institutions, including the Goethe-Institut and the Central and Regional Library for Berlin established a lyrikline.org network to promote the international exchange of poets, poetry and translations by supporting the website.
lyrikline.org was honored as a notable cultural project with the United Nations Logo for 2001, the “Year of Dialogue among Civilizations”.
In 2005, lyrikline.org won the Grimme Online Award for Culture and Entertainment, the jury of which stated that it was an outstanding combination of content, form and function.
