The Big Day: 3 April at 19 O'clock in the Literaturhaus, Vienna, The Book Launch
Selected reading from The Lost Notebook/Das Verlorene Notizbook with translator Astrid Nischkauer and moderator Günter Kaindlstorfer. Sybil Urbancic will also read from her work and we will all have a lively discussion
This book is part two of a trilogy and continues the story of They Clasp My Hand with more autobiography and philosophical perspectives on poetry/writing. It deals with memory-- the question of what is lost and rediscovered when the next generation returns to their parents' former homeland and finds its own place.
My current family and I are proud bi-national Austrian/American citizens. The book ends with an invitation and hope for the third book, planned for 2026 by the Theodor Kramer Society.
The first book, "They Clasp my Hand/Die meine Handgreifen," was published in 2022 by the Theodor Kramer Society. It is a long poem that tells the story of my family from the First World War through the Anschluss and exile to the grandchildren's generation.
