When autumn comes to Wannsee, TRADUKI and the LCB invite you to their evening of Southeast European literature. This year we are focussing entirely on poetry: in “Meine Flüsse” (tr: Rebekka Zeinzinger), Bosnian writer Faruk Šehić allows recent history, the war, but also exile and memory to be reflected in the rivers Una, Drina, Loire and Spree. Romanian poet Livia Ştefan sets out on a long journey with her poems in “re.volver” (tr: Manuela Klenke): she writes her way back into trauma – and out again. With the volume “nicht fisch” (tr: Amalija Maček, Matthias Göritz, Adrian Kasnitz and Thomas Podhostnik), a selection of poems by award-winning Slovenian poet Ana Pepelnik is presented. The fluidity of Pepelnik’s language, the alternation between harsh rhythms and gentle singsong humming provide an ideal template for Aurélie Maurin’s sensitive musical compositions. All three volumes of poetry have been published by parasitenpresse.
