class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">University of Bremen, Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Amatoritsero Ede was the University of Bremen&#8217;s Institute for Postcolonial and Transnational Studies&#8217; (INPUTS&#8217;) Writer-in-Residence for 2016. He and his creative writing students presented the result of their intensive creative writing summer course in poetry, prose and drama through a public reading. He started off by giving a talk on the linguistic turn in literary theory as it relates to creative writing and grammar. This event was featured as part of the INPUTS lecture series, &#8220;Key Developments in Literary Histor(ies) and Literary Criticism in English.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">INPUTS organizes many programs and activities, one of which is the newly established \u201cWriter-in-Residence\u201d program, which brought Dr. Ede to us. &nbsp;We were very happy to host him from March through May 2016 as our first Writer-in-Residence. During his stay at Bremen University, he collaborated with me (his host), Professor Dr. Kerstin Knopf, delivered an academic paper and gave a poetry reading at the international Third Bremen Conference on Language and Literature in Colonial and Postcolonial Contexts or \u201cPostcolonial Knowledges\u201d, organized by myself and professor Dr. Eeva Sippola. See:&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bcll.uni-bremen.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.bcll.uni-bremen.de<\/a>. As a poet, Dr. Ede began a&nbsp;new work titled &#8220;Teardrops on the Weser&#8221;,&nbsp;&nbsp;in the magnificent ambience of the &#8216;Teerhof&#8217;, an island on the River Weser in&nbsp;Bremen\u2019s beautiful old city center. Since returning to Canada he has been working towards completing the&nbsp;manuscript of that new poetry collection. It is worth mentioning that close to the Teerhof is Bremen city hall with&nbsp;its treasured wines in the \u2018Ratskeller.\u2019 This breathtaking area is,&nbsp;by the way, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Dr. Ede enriched the Bremen curriculum with a five week-creative writing class that brought out&nbsp;wonderfully enthusiastic students. They and he presented their writing at the above-mentioned Guest Lecture Series, organized by Dr. Jana Nittel. We were very happy to host the poet&nbsp;in Bremen and are thankful for the opportunity to have some of his&nbsp;students&#8217; works published in this journal; that is, writing by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/mtls.ca\/issue21\/stefanie-jahn\/\">Stefanie Jahn<\/a>,&nbsp;<a title=\"Sonia Saikaley\" href=\"https:\/\/mtls.ca\/issue21\/alexander-starostin\/\">Alexander Starostin<\/a>,&nbsp;<a title=\"Carly Rosalie Vandergriendt\" href=\"https:\/\/mtls.ca\/issue21\/natalya-polyakova\/\">Natalya Polyakova<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/mtls.ca\/issue21\/paula-maciejewski\/\">Paula Maciejewski<\/a>.&nbsp;Thank you very much!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mtls.ca\/issue21\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2015\/09\/Kerstin-Knopf-.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1210\" src=\"https:\/\/mtls.ca\/issue21\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2015\/09\/Kerstin-Knopf--300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Kerstin Knopf\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\"><\/a><br>\nProf. Dr. Kerstin Knopf<br>\nPostcolonial Literary and Cultural Studies<br>\nUniversit\u00e4t Bremen<br>\nFB 10 Sprach- und Literaturwissenschaften<br>\nEnglish-Speaking Cultures<br>\nBibliothekstr. 1, GW 2, B 3120<br>\n28359 Bremen, Germany<br>\nTel: 0421 218 68330<br>\nEmail: <a href=\"mailto:kknopf@uni-bremen.de\">kknopf@uni-bremen.de<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brampton, Toronto\u2019s Inaugural Festival of Literary Diversity, FOLD \u00a9&nbsp;Herman Custodio\/the FOLD &nbsp; &nbsp; University of Bremen, Germany.
