Welcome to a reading and a conversation with the Norwegian poets Terje Dragseth, Marte Huke and Ruth Lillegraven. Moderated by the poet and publisher Daniela Seel.
Discovering poetry from Norway - that's what the book fairs focus on. Three authors are in advance in Berlin and present their new books of poetry. They are recorded for Lyrikline and can be heard and read anytime soon in voice, text and translation.
Terje Dragseth
(born 1955 in Kristiansand) is considered one of the most important voices of his generation. In the most beautiful tradition of sci-fi poetry moves in BELLA BLU, Handbook for Space (Gutleut Verlag 2019, translation Tone Avenstroup and Bert Papenfuß) the spacecraft Bella Blu with 17 km per second 1299 days through the universe.
Marte Huke
(born 1974 in Lørenskog) reads poems from her debut Delta (edition rugerup 2019, translation Betty Wahl and Uwe Englert). As a river meanders in the Delta, an I, a you and sometimes the We move around each other. Non-classical nature poetry appears here; the forces of nature appear in man.
Ruth Lillegraven
Deep down in the memory of the language, the country rises Ruth Lillegraven (born 1978 in Granvin). It is a make sure against time, anchoring in language as knowledge store. In Sichel (edition rugerup 2019, translation by Klaus Anders), it draws on diaries, legends, myths, legends and newspaper reports from the 19th century.
The event will be interpreted Norwegian-German.
