Oxford Dodo Extinction Dada: Poetry workshop with Berlin-based poet Mikael Vogel
In a poetry workshop centered around the current extinction crisis and animal ethics, poet Mikael Vogel from Berlin will talk about the Oxford dodo and the London dodo and invite participants to write about them. Vogel’s poetry collection ›Dodos auf der Flucht. Requiem für ein verlorenes Bestiarium‹ [›Dodos on the Run. Requiem for a Lost Bestiary‹] (Verlagshaus Berlin 2018) is currently in its fourth printing and is considered to have changed how animals are to be looked at and written about in German poetry.
Mikael Vogel has published seven poetry books and widely been recognized with literary prizes. A selection of his poetry with English translations was published digitally by Versopolis in 2019.
