German-Czech Poetry Dialogue
On the occasion of the Czech Republic’s appearance as Guest of Honor at the 2026 Frankfurt Book Fair, two poets who transcend boundaries in many respects will come together for a German-Czech poetry dialogue. They will discuss the relationship between text, performance, music, and visual art, as well as the unsaid and the possibilities of translation. In addition, both will read from and perform their current works and show poetry videos.
