She is a scholar and teacher of German and Comparative Literature and works on 20th-Century and Contemporary poetry, German-Jewish studies, queer studies, and intersections of poetics and craft practices. This Fall, she is teaching “German Poetry Today” as well as a graduate seminar on “Creative Non-Fiction.” Please see her [bio here](https://german.fas.harvard.edu/people/simone-stirner). And please come to meet her at the Department’s Fall Reception, September 4 from 4 to 6 pm in the Thompson Room!
