no man's land Translators

Catherine Hales grew up in Surrey and studied Comparative Literature in Norwich, where she got stuck for several years before moving to Germany, first nearly ten years in Stuttgart and, since 1999, in Berlin, where she earns her living as a freelance translator. She has also variously worked as a teacher, a nursery gardener, a census transcriber, a street musician, a video sound engineer and a film extra. Her poems have appeared in a wide range of magazines, and she read at the first Poetry Hearings Festival in Berlin in 2005. Her translations of essays by Reinhard Jirgl, Shi Ming and Johano Strasser appeared in PEN International and the volume accompanying the 72nd international PEN Congress in Berlin, 2006. no man's land workshop October 18 and 19, 2006 no man's land # 1 [audio] no man's land # 2
