“Two Trees Make a Forest”: Green Library Event with Jessica J. Lee
Online Reading, Englisch-language Event
The Green Library series invites creative writers living in and around Berlin to read and perform their work. It aims to create a space for discussions about nature and the environment. In line with Poco. Lit.’s broader aims, the series strives to draw forward lesser-heard voices and perspectives, particularly from the global South and People of Colour.
On June, 5 at 8pm, poco. lit. and Jessica J. Lee will talk about her two books “Two Trees Make a Forest” and “Turning: a Swimming Memoir”.
Jessica J. Lee is a British-Canadian-Taiwanese author and currently lives in Berlin. She has a PhD in Environmental History and Aesthetics and was Writer-in-Residence at the Leibniz Institute for Freshwater Ecology in Berlin from 2017–2018. Jessica is the founding editor of The Willowherb Review.
The event takes place via the online platform Zoom. Participation is free, but registration is required. If you send an email to pocolitinfo@gmail.com you will receive the link to the Zoom meeting. You can participate from the comfort of your own home by mobile phone or computer and ask your questions in the chat.
After the event, a transcription of the conversation will be published in English and German on pocolit.com.
The Green Library event series is supported by the Berlin Senate.
