• May 2019
Through haikus (poems of seventeen syllables), Anna Kazumi-Stahl shows us in her nanotalk (a very short talk) how nature is poetry to discover. Anna Kazumi Stahl is a fiction writer and a doctor in Comparative Literature. She has published two narrative books: "Natural catastrophes", by Editorial Sudamericana, (1997) and the novel "Flowers of a single day", edited by Planeta, in Argentina, Spain, France and Italy (2002). Daughter of a Japanese mother and an American father of German descent, she grew up in New Orleans where the mix of cultures influenced her interests and her writing. She studied Social Sciences and then Literature, receiving the doctorate in 1995, at the University of Berkeley, California. After traveling through Europe, she chose the city of Buenos Aires to live and Castilian Spanish as the language to pour her thoughts, although she also works as a translator. With her short stories she took part in anthologies and local newspapers. She currently works as a literature and writing teacher.
