with Tracy Fuad, poet and author
Thursday, December 4, 2025 | 6:30 p.m.
Studiobühne | Domplatz 23 | 48143 Münster

In this reading and dialogue, poet and writer Tracy Fuad will read from her acclaimed debut, about:blank, as well as her new collection, PORTAL. Her poems traverse fractured digital spaces and diverse geographies, including Berlin, Kurdistan, New York, and the remote eastern coast of the United States. Exploring themes of displacement, technology, ecology, intimacy, and identity through experimental forms, Fuad invites readers to reflect on how we inhabit multiple worlds simultaneously: the natural and the artificial, the personal and the political, the present moment and its absences.

The reading will be followed by a conversation and a Q&A with the audience.

Tracy Fuad is a poet and writer based in Berlin. Her second collection of poetry, PORTAL, won the Phoenix Emerging Poets’ Prize and was published by the University of Chicago Press in 2024. A 2023 National Endowment for the Arts Fellow, Fuad’s poems have appeared in The Paris Review, The Yale Review, Poetry Daily, and Poem-a-Day and have been translated into Kurdish, Turkish, German, and Spanish. She lives in Berlin, where she teaches poetry and directs the Berlin Writers’ Workshop. She is currently at work on a novel.

This event will be held in English.

We look forward to an insightful evening with you.
