The best, the funniest, and the weirdest!

Join us for a reading of anglophone railway poems from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries! The poems will be read and introduced by students of the seminar "Railway Modernities" (taught by Prof. Johannes Riquet). If you have your own favourite railway poem, feel free to bring it to the event! Glögi and cookies will be offered in the break. 

If you would like to receive a printed booklet containing all the poems read at the event, please sign up by e-mailing Johannes Riquet (johannes.riquet [at] tuni.fi). You are also welcome to just show up without registering.
