Talk between Dirk Huelstrunk and Giedre Kazlauskaite took place on June, 20th, 2025 in the Garden of Liebighaus, Frankfurt, Germany.

Giedre Kazlauskaite is an acclaimed poet, prose writer, literary critic & essayist from Lithuania. Queerness, Feminism, and Catholicism are cornerstones of Giedres writings. Besides her poetry, she has also published a book of comments on the bible and is currently working on a children's book about queer issues. But Giedre is looking for a very personal aesthetic expression rooted in modern society as well as in traditions. In 2025 she was awarded with the writers' residency at Villa Clementine in Wiesbaden, Germany, as a part of the cultural exchange program between the German state of Hesse and Lithuania.
