Unsere KJL Biennale ist heute erfolgreich mit Autor Benjamin Tienti gestartet.

Unsere KJL Biennale steht und wartet auf ihre Gäste über die nächsten beiden Wochen in der Siegener Stadtbibliothek, mit dabei sind die Autoren Benjamin Tienti, Nils Mohl und Rüdiger Bertram.

some of you asked for this: here is the unmixed tracklist from my opening set at our closing party #dgfa2025 open.spotify.com/playlist/6P8...

For this afternoon's DGfA session, I picked a panel on "Transmedial (Un)Archiving: Poetry Transposition into New Media" with four wonderful talks featuring #poetry, visual art, film, video games & poetry by #MinaLoy, #WaltWhitman, and #SylviaPlath. #AmericanStudies #DGfA2025

thought-provoking panels, great keynotes, closing with a bang — #dgfa2025 is a wrap (almost… says the bookkeeper)

#dgfa2025 beats party better with you
