“I didn’t have any time”

Heidi Gailer writes down memories of her time, her view of today, rural life, globalization, digitalization, love and all of life's topics, sometimes critically, sometimes humorously.

Heidi Gailer received a lot of positive feedback for her poems for birthday parties and other festive occasions; her friends from the Goldhauben-Trachtengruppe Treffen encouraged her to write books after all.

One of these books was a gift from Heidi's friend Elfriede Wind to the composer Günther Antesberger, who died this summer. "He set five poems to music. I've already heard them sung," says a delighted Heidi, who has also entertained many with readings.

"Eanta hån i ka Zeit ghåbt mit dem Hof und den Kindern," says Heidi, but then in retirement she first wrote down for her family what she had experienced as a girl with eleven siblings in Sirnitz and as a farmer's wife at Vulgo Kircher in Buchholz in Gegendtal.

"In the past, doing one's duty came first. And only the men had time to talk. That was often a burden," remembers Heidi, who tells a story for every week of the year in "Einmal hell, einmal dunkel" (Once light, once dark) and also deals with the past and present in the volume "Im Garten der Erinnerung" (In the garden of memory) - humorously and critically.
