An evening for the poetry of Vietnam in the heart of Regensburg
With his reading Vietnamese Poetry and Its Interpretation, Prof. Dr. Günter Giesenfeld opens a literary window to Southeast Asia on June 11, 2026, at AKUSO Regensburg. The evening combines the art of language, context, and interpretation into a quiet, concentrated literary experience in the historical setting at Haidplatz. The venue explicitly announces readings and lectures as part of its cultural program; at the same time, the space on the upper floor is not accessible to persons with disabilities.

Between sound, meaning, and cultural memory
Those who listen to Vietnamese poetry encounter not only verses but a poetics of condensation. This is exactly where the evening begins: Giesenfeld, who is recognized as a literary scholar, media scientist, Germanist, director, editor, and translator, brings scientific precision and literary experience together. His work is anchored in the context of Vietnam, history, and cultural mediation; as an example of his publications, the German Digital Library mentions Land of Rice Fields about Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia.

Reading with intellectual depth and close presence
The AKUSO Forum describes itself as a place for culture & social issues, with readings, lectures, and exhibitions in a historical setting in the middle of Regensburg's old town. This creates a special reading atmosphere for the audience, in which voice, text, and space condense into a literary experience. What is expected is not a loose book presentation but a reflected author encounter with a focus on form, interpretation, and cultural horizon. ([akuso-regensburg.de](https://akuso-regensburg.de/))
