W15 Cafe

Join Sam Zamrik (HAST '21) for a reading from their latest work, Ich bin nicht on BCB campus.

Ich bin nicht was released on October 15.

From the Hanser Berlin website: "Whether in Damascus or in Berlin, no matter what language – writing has always been vital for Sam Zamrik. This volume bears witness to this, with the introduction of a poet who has passed through many hells and lost almost everything, including their own identity: "I am not". But the losses are offset by an untouchable wealth: a language that knows many pitches, from the solemnity of the Song of Songs to heavy metal heaviness."
