VERWÜSTUNG - Releaseparty / Lesung

In the organizer's words:

The Factory invites you to a release party for the book release "Verwüstung" by Nico Feiden.

Reading by Nico Feiden

DJ set by Bryan Kessler

Free admission!

In his poetry, Feiden paints an unsparing swan song for our times. Climate catastrophes, the shift to the right, hedonism and the constant realization that we are on the brink provide the literary fuel for these poems and they are written in such a density that everyone recognizes in the end what VERWÜSTUNG stands for.
