Claudia Bierschenk

Poetry: July 2009

In Hohenschönhausen (former East Berlin remand prison)

My mother's file

Kaddish for Ms Weinberg

Claudia lives and works in Berlin. She is a part-time project manager and proofreader for a translation company. She teaches Business English one night a week and Spanish to two boisterous kids one afternoon a week. The rest of the time she walks through Berlin, tries to speak more German to her English boyfriend, drinks coffee, reads and writes. She discovered her love for writing in general and poetry in particular whilst living in England (now her second home), where she took a course in Creative Writing at Sheffield University.
Claudia spent her childhood and early teenage years in East Germany close to the former Iron Curtain, and a lot of her writing deals with life in East Germany before the re-unification with the West.

She has had a few pieces published in online poetry magazines, such as Alittlepoetry.com, Juice Magazine, and Public Republic. One of her poems has recently been published in an anthology by Forward Press, UK.
