Spoken word poetry by Michael Fehr
India
Swiss author Michael Fehr refers to himself as being ‘A Narrator’ – a writer who does not write. Fehr, a spoken word poet, has juvenile macular degeneration, low vision, which compels him to create his works by dictation, creating an inimitable oeuvre of outstanding poetical and musical qualities.
Fehr will be performing along with guitarist Raghuraman Ramasubramanian, attempting a new collaboration for the India tour supported by Pro Helvetia – Swiss Arts Council.
