Guest production

The first FLINTA* poetry anthology with texts by 35 authors who provide insights into their lyrical writing is called "have rooted cuttings". In addition to writing processes and author portraits, the lyrical texts are embedded in a dialogue of origin, language and inner geography. The title of the edited publication i: In analogy to the many marginalised voices of queer people, metaphorical roots are taken here, which spill out into textual formations, intertwine and cautiously reach out to the left and right.
