no man's land # 4 launch reading

with fiction by Emma Braslavsky,
Claudius Hagemeister
and Julia Schoch
November 3, 2009
8 p.m.
Saint Georges Bookshop

Wörther Str. 27, Prenzlauer Berg
Free admission

no man's land is proud to launch Issue # 4 with a bilingual reading of fiction by three very different young writers. Just in time for the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, Emma Braslavsky traces the crisscrossing arcs of pre- and post-Wall friendship, while Julia Schoch's "Capturing in Passing" evokes the GDR as brutal summer camp. And Claudius Hagemeister's Grim Reaper escorts us unceremoniously from post-Wall to posthumous reality.

Emma Braslavsky will read with her translator Andrew Boreham, Claudius Hagemeister will read with translator Nicholas Grindell, and Zaia Alexander will read her translation of Julia Schoch.

After the reading, we hope you'll stick around for a celebratory beer from Saint Georges' reasonably-priced bar! We look forward to seeing you.

no man's land # 4 will appear on November 1, 2009 with translations of fiction by Emma Braslavsky, Claudius Hagemeister, Sudabeh Mohafez, Julia Schoch and Keto von Waberer and poetry by Carl-Christian Elze, Hendrik Jackson, Adrian Kasnitz, Nicolai Kobus, Birgit Kreipe, Christoph Wenzel and Harald Weinrich at www.no-mans-land.org.

no man's land # 3 Launch Reading with Poet Norbert Hummelt

December 11, 2008

8 p.m.

Saint Georges Bookshop

Wörther Str. 27, Prenzlauer Berg

Free admission

To mark the launch of its third issue, no man's land is proud to present a bilingual reading with Norbert Hummelt and his translator Catherine Hales. One of Germany's most important contemporary poets, Hummelt is noted for his profound and idiosyncratic engagement with German Romanticism and Anglo-American Modernism, producing subtle and intricate works filled with haunting imagery drawn largely from the landscape of memory. He will also read from his highly-acclaimed recent translations of poems by T. S. Eliot and William Butler Yeats. Catherine Hales, a Berlin-based poet, will read her translations of Hummelt's work.

After the reading, we invite you to join us for Christmas cookies and reasonably-priced beverages from the Saint Georges bar!
