Sounds a super occasion - marred for me by the fact that I do not speak a word of German.
ReplyDeleteIt's in many languages not only German. By the time you're on your third glass of Zweigelt you won't care what langauge they are in.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet this will be a great event!
ReplyDeleteShould be fun. My fingers are firmly crossed for decent weather. You can guest with your guitar :)
ReplyDeleteI attended the Saturday session. It ws held inside due to inclement weather. The Sunday session will be outdoors. The weather is much improved.
ReplyDeleteI was the second poet to read. I read 4 poems. A new quarterly poetry journal was presented but it was in German so I didn't subscribe. A guy from Venezuela played some great Spanish guitar. A poet from Romania was the first special guest. He spoke in his native language, with a German translator at his side. A lady read from the first chapter of her new novel. I met a dear friend I haven't seen for months (seems like years) we shall meet again soon. I went for a short walk by the nearby Danube and thought of the unfortunate people of Pakistan.
