Global Encounters/Globale Begegnungen

By Sara Riyad Karim

Sara recently completed her MA in Literary Studies at Goldsmiths, University of London. She is an avid reader of world literature, eco-fiction and science fiction. In June 2022, she performed a poetry reading of one of her poems at the Heidelberg Literature Festival. Her literary interests include the works of James Joyce, Clarice Lispector, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Rabindranath Tagore.

Editors Notes

Sara’s poetry is beautifully crafted and could resonate in some way with any reader. The choice to write in both German and English is a triumphant use of language, reaching to more than just an English reader. I think her words are comforting to read in the cold winter that we are facing, which is why we have chosen to upload it to our Autumn Edition.
