On June 2, there will be an in-person meeting between students of �������� and Juliana Sokolová, who represents a remarkably strong voice in contemporary �������� poetry. The conversation with the author, combined with a reading of her poems, will be moderated by �������� language lecturer Zuzana Omar Hargašová.

Juliana Sokolová will read poems from her collection Domáce práce (Household Gods, Literárna bašta, 2023), which was nominated for the Zlatá vlna 2024 and the Václav Burian Prize 2024. This is the author’s second book, published ten years after her debut My house will have a roof / Môj dom bude mať strechu (Fra, 2013).

Domáce práce is a multi-layered work that weaves together philosophy, sociology, Greek mythology, and feminism. Thematically, it addresses care for the household and loved ones, as well as the gendered division of labor. Linguistically rich, the collection also references the intersections between the private and the public.

After Juliana Sokolová’s presentation, there will be a lecture by Lucia Galdíková from the �������� Literary Centre titled �������� Literature in the German-speaking Environment. Participants will learn about recent and upcoming translations of works by �������� authors into German, about collaboration with translators, German-language publishers, and other international partners. The lecture will also discuss the presentation of contemporary �������� literature at international book fairs in Frankfurt and Leipzig.
