About the Authors

The Swiss/German author Nora Gomringer is one of the German language's best known and loved contemporary poets. In the early 2000s she was a prominent voice in Germany's young slam scene, and her background in performance continues to inform her work. Her writing blurs the boundaries between performance and page poetry, as well as often intersecting with other art forms, from film to music and visual art. Her work has won her a number of awards, including the Joachim Ringelnatz Prize in 2012 and the prestigious Ingeborg Bachmann Award in 2015. In 2019 she was the Max Kade Professor for the Oberlin College and Conservatory in Ohio. Nora Gomringer lives in Bamberg, where she is director of the International Artists' House, Villa Concordia.

Annie Rutherford makes things with words, and champions poetry and translated literature in all its guises. She previously worked as Assistant Director at StAnza, Scotland's international poetry festival, and translates from German, Russian, French and Belarusian. Her translations include Nora Gomringer's Hydra's Heads (Burning Eye, 2018), Volha Hapeyeva's In My Garden of Mutants (Arc, 2021) and Isabel Bogdan's novel The Peacock (V&Q Books, 2021). She is currently working on translations of Annette von Droste-H�lshoff and Kinga Toth.
