Lindita Arapi

Lindita Arapi (born 30 June 1972) is an Albanian writer and journalist. She is cited as a noteworthy example of a generation of female Albanian writers.[1] Together with her contemporaries, Ervin Hatibi, Agron Tufa, and Rudian Zekthi, Arapi is one of Albania's present-day literary avant-garde writers.[2] She has been living in Germany since the late 1990s, where she has published several volumes of poetry. Her first book of poetry, Am Meer, nachts ("By the sea, at night"; 2007) was the first book of poetry written by a female Albanian poet in German.[3] Her first novel, Vajzat me çelës në qafë (2010), translated into German in 2012,[4] was awarded a Book of the Year prize in Albania.
