Spot on for the stars of international contemporary poetry! Among them is Din\u00e7er G\u00fc\u00e7yeter, known for his electrifying live performances. The Czech Republic, partner country at this year\u2019s Frankfurt Book Fair, is represented by Petr Hru\u0161ka, one of its most important literary voices. With Ben Lerner, one of the most influential figures working across the boundary between poetry and prose can be experienced on stage. Halyna Kruk, originally from Lviv, presents her new poetry collection \u00abA Crash Course in Molotov Cocktails\u00bb. The evening is hosted by Logan February. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Din\u00e7er G\u00fc\u00e7yeter, Petr Hru\u0161ka, Halyna Kruk, Ben Lerner, M\u00e1ty\u00e1s Dunajcsik
Moderated by Logan February<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event will be held in English, with readings in German, English, Ukrainian and Czech, with German and English translations projected on screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In advance to the event, the Poetry Night I: Poetry in the Neighborhood<\/mark><\/strong><\/a> will take place as a series of wandering readings in three spaces near Haus der Berliner Festspiele.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A combination ticket for the Poetry Night<\/mark><\/strong><\/a> is available for \u20ac18 (reduced rate: \u20ac12), which includes admission to both Part I and Part II. Single tickets cost \u20ac12 (reduced rate: \u20ac8). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We regret that Eileen Myles will not be taking part in this year\u2019s International Literature Festival Berlin. We hope to welcome them at a future edition of our festival. Tickets for the \u00abPoetry Night: Part II\u00bb remain valid. Tickets already purchased for \u00abHow to Live Twice\u00bb will be refunded. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also regret that Din\u00e7er G\u00fc\u00e7yeter is unable to attend the Poetry Night himself. His poems will be read on his behalf by Dilek Mayat\u00fcrk.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35,"template":"","tags":[1121,1157],"jtc-program-language":[1137],"jtc-program-marketing-segment":[1150],"jtc-program-format":[1087],"jct-program-kjlgrade":[],"jct-program-properties":[808],"jct-program-days":[826],"jct-program-locations":[847,1117],"jct-program-categories":[796],"class_list":["post-98827","events","type-events","status-publish","hentry","tag-literary-program","tag-rhythm-writing","jtc-program-language-english","jtc-program-marketing-segment-erfahrung","jtc-program-format-reading","jct-program-properties-livestream-en","jct-program-days-day-06","jct-program-locations-haus-der-berliner-festspiele-en","jct-program-locations-seitenbuehne","jct-program-categories-evening-program"],"yoast_head":"\nPoetry Night II: Poetry in the Spotlight – international literature festival berlin<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/literaturfestival.com\/en\/events\/poetry-night-ii-poetry-in-the-spotlight\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Poetry Night II: Poetry in the Spotlight – international literature festival berlin\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Spot on for the stars of international contemporary poetry!
