Stories, poems and songs written and presented by students and staff of the English Department at the University of Klagenfurt.
“The Magic of Creative Writing” is the inaugural event of a year-long celebration in 2023 of the fiftieth anniversary of the Department of English at the University of Klagenfurt. An enchanting evening of literary delights created by department staff and students will be presented. Prose, poetry, and song will be presented in English and German to highlight the cultural exchange encouraged in the department.
We are happy to announce the people who will be sharing their works with you. To start the evening off, Werner Delanoy will present the audience with a handful of his songs. Alexa Weik von Mossner will read from her recently published novel Fragile. Blake Shedd will read a selection of English and German poetry. A selection from her new novella The Song of Romeo and Juliet will be shared by Iris van der Horst. And last, another genre of music—rap—will be shared with the audience by Alexander Striessnig. Please join us for this celebration of creative writing to mark our fiftieth year!

When U.S. Ambassador Victoria Kennedy paid her first official visit to Carinthia on Monday, November 14, 2022, students from the Department of English had the rare opportunity to sit down and discuss U.S. related topics with the high-ranking official. Victoria Reggie Kennedy, sworn in as Ambassador to the Republic of Austria by U.S. President Joe Biden on November 16, 2021, took up her service in Vienna in January 2022. After the ambassador was received by the Chairman of the Senate of the University of Klagenfurt, Prof. Martin Hitz, and a delegation from the Department of English, a small group of our students had the chance to meet and engage in a roundtable discussion and Q&A with the ambassador.
Topics addressed were the work and role of an ambassador in Austria, the history of Austrian-American relations, the English & American Studies program and Game Studies, women’s rights in the U.S. & around the world, the effects of the pandemic on the U.S., the midterm elections & presidential candidates 2024, and Joe Biden’s climate change policy. The Department of English was delighted and honored to host the event with Ambassador Kennedy on the eve of its 50 Years Anniversary in 2022.
We look forward to seeing you there!
