Baltic Sea Library-Abend: Finnland und Schweden
Das Online-Projekt Baltic Sea Library (vertreten durch Klaus-Jürgen Liedtke, leitender Herausgeber, und Clas Zilliacus, Redakteur Schwedische Literatur) stellt mit Edith Södergran und Henry Parland zwei historische Autoren der finnlandschwedischen Avantgarde vor, die aktuell neu in die Baltic Sea Library aufgenommen wurden, und denen - in neuer Übersetzung ins Deutsche - jeweils ein Teilband der frisch erschienenen, fünfteiligen Ausgabe "Finnlandschwedische Literatur der Avantgarde" (Verlag Kleinheinrich, 2014) gewidmet ist.
Im zweiten, der Gegenwart verpflichteten Teil des Abends lesen Cia Rinne (mehrsprachig) und Anders Olsson (Schwedisch / Deutsch) eigene Gedichte.
