Reading performance
Poetry Reading by Ulrike Almut Sandig

for German language learners from B2 level onwards

Mon, 11.02.2019
10:30 AM - 12:00 Goethe-Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan New Delhi

Ulrike Almut Sandig was born in Großenhain (GDR) in 1979 and now lives with her family in Berlin. She started publishing her poetry by pasting poems onto lamp posts in Leipzig and spreading them on flyers and free post cards. Two prose books, three pop music albums, radio pieces and four volumes of her poetry have been published to date.
 
For her performance in Delhi she will read some translations from the  poetry collection Dickicht (Thick of it), excerpts from the prose book Buch gegen das Verschwinden (Against Disappearance) and some poems from her latest poetry collection Grimm which reanimates the dark side of The Children’s and Household Tales of the Brothers Grimm and uses it as a backdrop for contemporary European concerns: war, migration, the rise of the Right.
