Campino Releases Book on Poetry and Songwriting

The Toten Hosen frontman explores his influences and lyrical journey in a new publication.

Campino, lead singer of Die Toten Hosen, has published a book titled 'Kästner, Kraftwerk, Cock Sparrer,' which compiles his lectures on poetry and songwriting.
The book is described as a 'love letter to utilitarian poetry' and includes expanded versions of Campino's talks given at Heinrich-Heine University.
In an interview, Campino reflects on his past lyrics, including the song 'Hofgarten,' and shares his evolving relationship with language.
Campino's appearances, including one on the show 'Markus Lanz,' highlight his thoughtful yet self-ironic approach to discussing poetry and music.
The book serves as both a deep dive into the art of lyrics and a subtle autobiography, revealing Campino's personal and artistic growth.
