On Tuesday 28th May 2019 we close out the current season of Hi Zero readings with three Berlin-based poets:

Lotta Thießen is a poet and translator who grew up in Porto and lives in Berlin. Her chapbook In This came out in 2016, and she has published in magazines including Mask, Dinner, Legoville, Architecture et Poesie, and Splinter. She co-runs the magazine and reading series artiCHOKE in Berlin, which brings together poets from a German-speaking context and from other countries/languages. She also edits the internationalist feminist poetry publication Vírgulentxs. Fragments of Baby is forthcoming in 2019.

Joel Scott is a poet and translator, originally from Sydney. He co-runs the Berlin-based magazine and reading series artiCHOKE. His translation of the second volume of Peter Weiss’s Die Ästhetik des Widerstands (The Aesthetics of Resistance) will appear with Duke University Press in early 2020. His most recent chapbook is called BILDVERBOT.

Marty Hiatt is a poet and translator from Melbourne living in Berlin. He runs bulky news press, has work in Cordite, Otoliths, past simple, dinner, scallysub, and Overland. His recent books are hard-line, the manifold, back to noise and *Paraphrenia,* which was published by MATERIALIEN in 2019.

Information about artiCHOKE, run by Thießben, Scott, and Hiatt: Four times a year, artiCHOKE brings together poets from various languages and contexts with an emphasis on political and experimental writing. Every event is accompanied by a multilingual publication with translations of the work and critical introductions.

The usual music from a thing, books, bar, discussion, the lot.

All taking place upstairs at the Hope & Ruin, Brighton. Doors at 7:30pm for an 8:00pm start.
