"The world pushes you out, unaware that you seek only warmth. Blinded neither by wisdom, doctrines, nor by the naivety of history ..."

Nida Younis is a poet, journalist and translator and one of the most impressive literary voices of her generation. Her texts tell of love, loss, resistance, occupation and social constraints. In her texts, the body becomes the bearer of history - personally and politically at the same time. The poetry collection "Two Bodies | Zwei Körper" is the first time a selection of 12 poems has been published in German - in close collaboration with the translator Wendy Marth and the German-French poet and musician Antemanha, who is accompanying this reading tour.

Together with the association Freunde arabischer Kunst und Kultur e. V., we will have a conversation with the Palestinian poet over tea from the samovar.
