CFP: 100 Jahre Vera Ferra-Mikura: Netzwerken im österreichischen Kinder- und Jugendliteraturbetrieb zwischen 1945 und 1980, Wien (15.03.2023)

Die Wienerin Vera Ferra-Mikura (1923-1997), als Lyrikerin in der von Otto Basil herausgegebenen Zeitschrift Plan entdeckt, ab 1948 als freie Schriftstellerin tätig und Teilnehmerin an zahlreichen Veranstaltungen der Nachkriegszeit, fiel zunächst als Autorin origineller und satirischer Beiträge für Zeitungen und Zeitschriften auf, bevor sie sich ab den späten 1940er Jahren vermehrt der Kinder- aber auch der Jugendliteratur, ihrer Meinung nach einem Teilbereich der Literatur, widmete.
