Alit: literary talks, poetry and book launches.

Alit – Tag der Literaturgespräche is an afternoon and evening of workshop discussions, poetry readings, seven book launches and a world-literature reading at the Literaturhaus Zürich. Behind it stands the authors' network Alit, which has spent more than ten years standing up for writers whose work is pushed into niches and who lack attention, publishers and funding. With workshop sessions, the LyrikTisch led by Dragica Rajčić Holzner, presentations of books from the «Discours Agités» series and a conversation with Kinga Tóth, the day invites shared reflection on literature moving between languages, genres and cultures. The new co-presidents Isabelle Capron and Lea Schlenker open the day, introducing Alit and its projects.
