arnt bekOn February 24, we invite you to an evening of poetry and conversation with Berlin-based poet Katerina Kuznetsova, celebrating her debut poetry collection GLOZPERL (Glass Bead). From cherry blossoms to the imminent apocalypse, Kuznetsova’s lyrical poems bring an unexpected directness to the page: calling our attention to the dark shadows on a spring afternoon and the lightness of life’s darkest moments. Kuznetsova’s Yiddish poems have already been anthologized, translated into three languages, and set to music by multiple artists. This long-awaited debut marks the next milestone of what is already a promising poetic career.
The book, illustrated by Arndt Beck (https://pixelfed.social/p/bebuquin/920111000031807514), was published by the Olniansky Tekst publishing house in Sweden and is now being introduced to a Berlin audience. The author and illustrator will speak about their creative processes and the collaboration that brought the book to life, in a conversation moderated by fellow Yiddish poet Jake Schneider. The poetry reading will be in Yiddish, with introductions in English.
The discussion will take place in English.
Admission is free.
February 24, 7pm.
Location:
Bar SaliGari
Simplonstraße 23
10245 Berlin
