Alexander Delphinov is one of the most important contemporary Russian-speaking poets and one of the co-founders of PANDA platforma, so it makes sense that he is presenting his first books in German at PANDA.
There is only one poem in his first book – it is a prose debut that would not have been possible without the translator and publisher Heinrich Siemens (Tweeback Verlag in Bonn).
The stories from his horror Neighborhood of the Hidden River will be read. The second book consists only of poems, translated by Irina Bondas, Alexandra Berlina, and Georg Witte, and published by hochroth Berlin.
Delphinov will also perform some of his lyrical texts on stage.
In the end, we hope to discuss modern literature and translingual culture.
In German language.
