| G13 is a collective of Berlin-based poets, founded in 2009. The members, all between 20 and 30 years old, meet regularly to present and discuss new works, and also contribute to a blog (http://gdreizehn.wordpress.com). After taking part in numerous readings and a workshop to promote young authors, the group made their first joint appearance in print in a special issue of the magazine Belletristik in 2011; a G13 anthology was recently published by luxbooks. For two tours in Germany and Switzerland and an appearance at the Zeitkunst festival, the group worked together with directors and musicians to develop a stage program that integrates reading and performance.
