We are thrilled to welcome the acclaimed Austrian writer Maja Haderlap and renowned translator Tess Lewis for a bilingual poetry reading at the ACF London, presenting the poetry collection distant transit. They will read and discuss selected poems in German and English, followed by a Q&A.

Maja Haderlap's work langer transit continues to explore themes of her novel Angel of Oblivion: shifting topographies and inner topographies, Slovenian history and myths, anti-fascist resistance, language and identity. 
langer transit is a poetry of transitions, charting the move from one country or language to another, from adolescence to adulthood, from trust and intimacy to distance, from rootedness to estrangement, but also from estrangement to a sense of community and home.

This reading is part of the symposium Reading Bachmann Now.
