Hannah K Bründl (1996, AUT) is a promising new voice in the Austrian poetry scene and writes socially engaged, form-free poetry. The fact that she is also a theatre maker explains why some of her stanzas feel like scenes unfolding before your eyes. Her experimental, sometimes absurd detours catch you off guard and suddenly lead you past Kim Kardashian and the mysterious life of the eel. From there, we loop back to urgent themes such as entrenched power structures and violence against women.
