»[Jägersberg’s] punchlines have something so sublimely casual to them, as though the comedy were springing forth organically from the depicted events, or rather, more frequently, from the language.«
»We need the poets’ gaze on the world in order to understand and bear it. Jägersberg has this gaze.«
»Jägersberg’s texts are poetry in themselves, making the well-known seem entirely fresh and new again.«
