Author Reading: Stein Schreiben
As part of the exhibition "Luxembourg on the Rocks," four Luxembourg authors will read literary texts themed around "stone." The subsequent discussion will be moderated by Sébastian Thiltges.
Participants include Ulrike Bail, who has been living in Luxembourg as a writer for almost 20 years and has authored several poetry collections, including "statt einer ankunft" and "im halblichten geäst deines atems," awarded the Prix Servais. Some of her poetry has been translated into French, English, Dutch, Russian, and Arabic. Elise Schmit (born in 1982) deals with the inescapable conditions of human existence. Her story collection "Stürze aus unterschiedlichen Fallhöhen" (2018) follows forms of failure and loneliness through the imagery of falling. Her unpublished poems in "wortwuchs" explore language possibilities using botanical metaphors, culminating in a rock garden. Bernd Marcel Gonner, a landscape manager on his own farm, writes eclectically, an effort as demanding as his job where everything is interconnected. Robert Weis works as a collection manager and researcher in the paleontology department of the National Museum of Natural History, also an author, promoting the rich geological heritage of Luxembourg.
