Poetry Talk: Sergio Raimondi The language that must come
Talk
Sergio Raimondi ARG writer in conversation with Ulf Stolterfoht DEU writer
Sergio Raimondi (born 1968 in Bahía Blanca, Argentina) has revitalised the poetry of his country with his book Poesía Civil (2001). It is “a book that is absolutely in contact with reality but at the same time washes clean the language of our age” (Arturo Carrera).
Raimondi’s second book, Para un diccionario crítico de la lengua (Towards a critical dictionary of language) is an ongoing work in progress (parts of which were published in German translation in 2012) and at the same time an encyclopaedic undertaking. The whole world is contained in this book, whether the use of three-times enriched uranium or the effect of heavy water factories on the nest-building of little blue herons.
Spanish-German interpreting will be available for this event.
