Austrian Cultural Forum, London.
June 27th 2024
A highlight of every European Poetry Festival; an event to celebrate one of the continent’s most dynamic and original literary scenes with the visit of Austrian poets Helene Proißl, Gudrun Schmidinger and Thomas Ballhausen. These three remarkable writers visited London to present new collaborations of poetry and performance, made for the night, with British compatriots, ably supported by many poets visiting the festival also collaborating. Always atmospheric in the remarkable environs of the Austrian Cultural Forum, this was a brilliant and memorable evening of live literature.
