Our next speaker, set for Friday, November 21st, is Anja Notanja Sieger, typewriter poet of La Prosette fame, Pfister Narrator-in-Residence, paper cut artist and performer. Anja will be talking on November’s theme “Chance.”

We asked Anja six questions to get to know her. 

What do you typically eat for breakfast? There is no typical. But today I had turkey, kraut, green mung noodles, brussel sprouts, lard.  

What do people know you for? Writing letters for them from their cats.

How is Milwaukee special to you? It has Lake Michigan in walking distance to the Central Library and the Oriental Theater.

What may people not know about you? I keep a moustache woven of my own hair in a tin just in case I want to dress up as Rocky Raccoon again.  

What drives your creativity? Irrepressible instinct.

What are you going to talk to us about this month? How leaving room for the unknown is the most critical part of the creative process.
