Three rivers, three countries, one linguistic movement: Franziska Füchsl receives this year’s Nature Writing Prize for »Am Rande der Müh«, a poetic text about the western Mühlviertel region, its watery topography, and thinking along the river. Füchsl interweaves geology and history with a playful gesture. Her text feels its way to the edges of the sayable – to where rivers get lost and the homeland dissolves into metonymies. The prizewinner and the two scholarship holders Elgin Hertel and Laura Vogt will talk about their texts and read from them.
In collaboration with Verlag Matthes & Seitz Berlin and in cooperation with the Umweltbundesamt and Stiftung Kunst und Natur.
With Franziska Füchsl, Elgin Hertel, Laura Vogt
Moderated by Birgit Schneider, Florian Werner
The event will be held in German.
Admission free.
