"Glozperl" book launch

On 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, 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.
