AN internationally-acclaimed German poet is making her debut visit to Lancaster University on March 2.

Ulrike Sandig is visiting as part of the Author and the World Project to run a masterclass for German students.

Emily Spiers, Research Associate in the Department of Languages and Cultures at Lancaster, said: "Ulrike Sandig’s performance at the university is quite a coup and we’re expecting a large audience for what promises to be an unforgettable evening.

“Ulrike’s poems have inspired some stunning artistic responses, both in film and sound art, and she is credited with helping to create a whole new perspective on language and its possibilities."
