SUMMARY:In Conversation: Bernadette Geyer & Sylvia Fox
DESCRIPTION:These are writers who relocated to Berlin and made it their home. Both published books in 2025 (Bernadette Geyer’s What Haunts Me and Sylvia Fox’s Little Fish) and are highly influenced by ancestors and family histories – the stories passed down through our different cultures. Plan to hear about how they each grapple with these topics in their work\, along with what it is like to put together a collection. Also\, because their respective publishers are in the US\, they’ll talk about the challenges of the publishing process when one is located in a different country than the publisher. \n\n\n\n\n\n  Get Tickets\n  Get Tickets on Eventbrite\n  \n\n  \n  \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Bernadette Geyer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBernadette Geyer is the author of the October 2025 release\, What Haunts Me (April Gloaming Publishing) and a previous collection\, The Scabbard of Her Throat. She also edited My Cruel Invention: A Contemporary Poetry Anthology\, published by Meerkat Press. Her writings have appeared in Bennington Review\, Barrow Street\, Poetry Ireland Review\, Westerly\, Oh Reader\, and elsewhere. Bernadette writes in multiple genres\, based on what the subject tells her it wants to be. She lives across from one of Berlin’s many lakes and is obsessed with cormorants and cranes. \n\n\n\nSocial Media Handles: Instagram and Bluesky @bernadettegeyer \n\n\n\nAbout Sylvia Fox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSylvia Fox is a multi-genre Brazilian-American writer. Her work moves between the mythic and the everyday\, echoing with folklore and mysticism\, the weight of memory\, and the ways grief lingers in the body. Sylvia was born in Oregon and moved to Texas as a child\, and movement across landscapes has always been an important part of her personal mythology. She grew up listening to family stories in Portuguese and English\, stories of crossings and hauntings\, and of the past slipping through the cracks of the present. Her work speaks to that inheritance. Sylvia holds an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Nevada\, Las Vegas\, and currently lives in Berlin\, Germany. Her debut novella-in-verse\, Little Fish\, was published by Blue Cactus Press in March 2025. Her work has appeared in Palette Poetry\, stadtsprachen magazin\, The Acentos Review\, and elsewhere. \n\n\n\nSocial Media Handles: Instagram @fox.tales
