Haugová will read from the book Zwischen zwei Lehren -- an Austrian publication of poetry selected from her collections Srna pozerajúca na Polárku and Archívy priestorov -- published by Edition Korrespondenzen

Dichterloh, "the festival of lyrics," carries the subtitle "Von Be- und Entgrenzung" and the works presented this year introduce the topic of presence / absence as well as the recurring motif of a farewell. Is it by chance that these themes come up at the festival amidst the pandemics? Although it was not the intention of the organizers, the themes strongly relate to the present corona-world.

Through their writing, ten poets from six countries and five languages show us what levels and shades of our existence, society and language a poem can capture and express. 

 

Michael Hammerschmid is responsible for the concept and the texts of the festival and he will also be hosting the readings.
